The Servile State is a book written in 1913 by economist and Catholic intellectual Hilaire Belloc, who builds up a slightly different vision about capitalism. While many of his predecessors and contemporaries have placed capitalism as an historical consequence of the Industrial Revolution, Belloc argues this is not so. Instead, he points out the links between capitalism and the already existing social structure of the middle ages and Renaissance. He claims that capitalism was not the natural result of the revolution, but that its roots have already been long established through the fall of distributism and the reform of the Catholic Church. Belloc brings some very compelling arguments through his book, however, his ultimate goal is not to determine the roots of capitalism, but to bring awareness to what it could become in future times. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Belloc believed that capitalism held the seed of a dangerous coexistence with socialism in which society would bring about the worse of the two, creating something completely new: The Servile State. The Servile State was a new vision that has raised many eyebrows, and caused some economic experts to consider Belloc somewhat of a visionary, especially after the development of German society prior to the 2nd World War. Belloc warns against capitalist elites taking power and using socialist values to essentially enslave the population, drawing a similarity with slavery as it existed in Roman times, when slaves still held a limited amount of financial freedom. With the rise of capitalism continuing into the 21st century, The Servile State seems a more genuine and current read than perhaps Belloc himself could have anticipated all those years ago. The book will undoubtedly shed some light both on the history of economics, and on the potential development of future economic growth, as it is already seen in some countries today.
