Chesterton positions himself as an assailant of “the nonsense of the world”: a sworn enemy of fashionable doctrines and the excesses into which they lead their adherents.

Chesterton says there are four things wrong with the world: Big Government, Big Business, Feminism, and Public Education. To remind you: he wrote this in 1910. What these four familiar things all have in common is that they undermine the family, the basic unit of society. What's wrong with the world, however, is not G. K. Chesterton. He is one of the things that is right. He continues to be right long after his death in 1936, as his words live on and ring true, especially in the case of this book, which was written in 1910.⏤ from the introduction by Dale Ahlquist, president of The Society of G.

It might have been expected that my pessimism, my atheism, and my hatred of sentiment would have made him to me the least congenial of all authors. ...
