BOOK REC: Steve Sparrow writes:

Couldn’t agree more with you vis a vis fighting materialism with socialism. I reckon it’s a crying shame high schools all over the world don’t study these two novels back to back, viz. Orwell’s Animal Farm and Hilaire Belloc’s The Mercy of Allah. Orwell dissing Socialism and Belloc unbridled Capitalism. Most read Orwell but few Belloc. Mercy of A is brilliant fantasy/satire on money. I highly recommend it.
