✦ Synopsis

In WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD author G. K. Chesterton rightly points out that what people see as "wrong with the world" are only the symptoms of a deeper problem. He shows that our governments, be they capitalistic or socialistic, also fail to see the deeper problem. With a keen wit and lively prose, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD cuts directly to the true problems that society must deal with and his solutions feel utterly correct.
