What's Wrong with the World

Chesterton provides his incredibly perceptive perspective on social and moral issues that are more pertinent today than they were in his time. In his light and funny approach, he remarks on feminism and true womanhood, educational errors, the value of the child, and other subjects, utilizing sharp arguments against the trendsetters' assaults on the family.

Chesterton had the foresight to understand the perils of implementing modernist proposals. He was well aware that slack moral standards would result in the dehumanization of man, and in this book he vehemently defends the family, its constituent elements, and character against those ideas and institutions that would subvert it and thereby deliver man into the hands of the servile state. In addressing what is wrong, he clearly demonstrates what is proper, sane, and sensible, as well as how to change things in that direction.
