Distributism and its significant impact on The Shire

Post by TolkienJRR »

My latest article in The Postil Magazine explores the Catholic and Biblical influences on Distributism and its significant impact on The Shire.

“I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late.”
-J.R.R Tolkien
