What's Wrong With the World

by Gilbert K. Chesterton

In this work, Chesterton repeatedly startles and shocks us, for he reads as if he were commenting on the latest issue of the New York Times rather than the press of his day (early 20th Century). Sex, education, feminism -- his trenchant and damning critique of early 21st Century culture in the West is all there a hundred years ago in this book. Amaze yourself and read it.
