Hilaire Belloc lived a remarkably accomplished life, serving as President of the Oxford Union and as a Member of the British Parliament. The author of over 150 works, Belloc wrote numerous essays, travelogues, and volumes on history, politics, and economics. Among the best-known of his non-fiction works is "The Servile State". First published in 1912, this work is an economic history of Europe, starting in ancient times, through the middle ages, to the industrial revolution, and finally culminating in an assessment of the state of the European economy in the first part of the 20th century. Belloc begins his thesis with an examination of the impact of slavery in ancient times, serfdom in the Middle Ages, and posits his theories on how European society transitioned to its current state of capitalism. Largely a polemic against the social reforms of the early 20th century, Belloc argues that state regulation will ultimately give rise to a new type of slavery by an authoritarian state. While his predictions regarding the results of state regulation over the excesses of capitalism have proved to be radically hyperbolic, "The Servile State" remains an insightful discussion of the state of political economics in the early part of the 20th century.

Europe and the Faith is Hilaire Belloc's work written in 1920 shortly after the end of World War I, in which he lost a son. Belloc examines the rise of Europe and the European peoples as children of the Catholic Church. He looks at the Fall of the Roman Empire, the survival of Classical Roman civilization through the Church as it Christianized and made the Empire anew as Christendom. In addition he looks at the causes for the Fall of Christendom and the Church, the need for a revival of the European peoples and the Church so that she and European man can fulfill his God-given mission. Belloc first notes that "Europe is the Church, and the Church is Europe" and then goes on to state that "Europe is the Faith, the Faith is Europe." Edited by Dr. William G. von Peters, he has added a Foreword and Afterword to help the reader understand Belloc's premises in light of our current age.

We have reached at last, as the final result of that catastrophe three hundred years ago, a state of society which cannot endure and a dissolution of standards, a melting of the spiritual framework, such that the body politic fails. Men everywhere feel that an attempt to continue down this endless and ever darkening road is like the piling up of debt. We go further and further from a settlement. Our various forms of knowledge diverge more and more. Authority, the very principle of life, loses its meaning, and this awful edifice of civilization which we have inherited, and which is still our trust, trembles and threatens to crash down. It is clearly insecure. It may fall in any moment. We who still live may see the ruin. But ruin when it comes is not only a sudden, it is also a final, thing. In such a crux there remains the historical truth: that this our European structure, built upon the noble foundations of classical antiquity, was formed through, exists by, is consonant to, and will stand only in the mold of, the Catholic Church. Europe will return to the Faith, or she will perish. The Faith is Europe. And Europe is the Faith. (Hilaire Belloc, Europe and the Faith "Sine auctoritate nulla vita")
