See Distributism.

[Alberta's Child]

Actually, that makes sense. That principle is much more narrowly focused than a general statement about "property ownership." That Catholic principle is exactly what I had in mind, since it is based on "property" as defined as a means of production. There's a huge difference between "property" as a suburban home with a large mortgage and "property" as an ownership stake in a business, farm, etc.

[Little Ray]

Distributism seems to be a wildly optimistic assumption that everybody will be equally competent at managing their share of “the means of production.”
Somehow I doubt it. As my dad used to put it, if everybody started with the same amount of wealth today, in a few years it would be concentrated again in about the same fashion it is now.
