What's Wrong With The World

by G. K. Chesterton

Overview

A Unique and Modern Perspective on Our Flaws

“Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.” - G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World

Shaving the child’s head doesn’t solve a lice infestation. To solve the problem, G.K. Chesterton believes, the human kind must look inward and in-depth and address the poverty issues plus the today’s precarious living conditions. But what about the women’s right to vote or the human being’s rapid dehumanization?
