G K Chesterton

What's Wrong with the World G K Chesterton

What's Wrong with the World represents an extrapolation of Chesterton's original response to a query posed in so many words by the Times to a selection of eminent writers and thinkers of the day. "Dear Sirs," ran GK's succinct rejoinder, "I am". The publication of the book suggested that, on reflection, there might have been more to say on the subject, and indeed Chesterton takes on several topics such as education, government, big business, and feminism with an unparalleled critical analysis.
