Distributism

Spreads property widely among families and small producers, opposing both big capital and a big state.

Associated with: G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, the encyclical Rerum Novarum.

Distributism sits in the left-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and slightly libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly traditional on culture, leaning tech-cautious on technology and leaning nature-first on environment. The profile is close to the middle on nation.
