Too short, and not worth this rediculous price
Do not get me wrong, this is a very fun and interesting debate, but it is only 40 or so pages and so does not really give an adequate picture of Chesterton or Shaw.It is very helpful if you are looking into the political views of Chesterton or Shaw, but not much beyond that.I am unsure why it is so insanely expensive, so if you want to read it you should probably get it from a library like I did.

Overall grade:C+

Not a good picture of Chesterton's brilliant mind. Not a fun
I am a great fan of debate and this ain't a great one. There were some points in which it made me smile but overall this TINY little book is not particularly entertaining or informative. Save some effort here. Themajority of the book (what there is of it) is spent discussing whether Shawand Chesterton are socialsts. Two stars may be generous especiallyconsidering the price. ...

Anyone interested in Islamic history will love this book
Well written and engaging -I highly recommend it.

A clever, biting satire of capitalism set in old Arabia
Belloc sardonically recounts the exploits of one Mahmoud, a sharp Baghdad merchant turned money lender who has grasped and clawed his way to the top. Ostensibly a critique of Islamic culture set many centuries ago, the bookis really an attack on the unbridled greed of the modern West. As a work ofsocio-economic satire it forms a nice complement to Belloc's Distributistwritings like The Servile State. A. N. Wilson calls it "the mostbrilliant of his fantasies." ... Read more
