The Servile State by Hilaire Belloc
A polemical analysis arguing that unchecked modern capitalism inexorably concentrates property and power, creating a mass of wage-dependent workers and a small owning class and thus tending toward a new form of serfdom; it warns that both laissez-faire capitalism and centralized socialism can produce this “servile” condition and advocates legal and institutional remedies—wider distribution of property, limits on corporate and financial monopolies, support for smallholders, guilds, and family ownership—to preserve individual liberty, dignity in labor, and social stability.
