FERNANDEZ RIQUELME, SERGIO. «Three acres and a cow»: The distributism or the radical moral choice in contemporary economy. Veritas [online]. 2012, n.26, pp. 165-186. ISSN 0718-9273.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-92732012000100008.

In the history of ideas we can find an original political-economic doctrine born in England in the early twentieth century known as Distributism, which provided a socio-political settlement profoundly humanist, from the historic renovation of Catholic social teaching in the «Industrial revolution Era». But a doctrine which appears also in the early twentieth century, as a possible interpretive paradigm of the «social Issue» of this new millennium: the integral human development, from the defense of natural communities and the human dignity against the dangers of the «engineering social» proposals and of transnational realities in the global economy.
