It is good to work and to be invested in our work. Distributism fits well with traditional Anabaptist values, even though it has largely been articulated by Catholic thinkers.

These themes include valuing craftsmanship, family businesses, and widespread ownership of the tools and infrastructure needed for business.  Recommended Resources: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15798769-the-hound-of-distributism  (The Hound of Distributism) edited by Richard Altman: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/184565   (What’s Wrong with the World) by G.K.
