What Would An Ideal State Really Look Like?
Certainly not like the nations we see around us today! But as G. K. Chesterton once famously remarked: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”
Which invites the question: If we had the courage to really try it, what would we do?
Not Like Other Nations: Toward an Ideal State answers that question. There are many books on Christian social doctrine, but not like this one. We start from the very foundation – God – and work our way up from there. Along the way we lay down clear ideas, by diving deep into traditional Catholic theology and social philosophy, and drawing from it clear principles of action; we give the most important practical rules needed to get your hands dirty and build a real, workable society, under Christ the King.
Topics covered are: What is God?—What is Man?—Man’s relation to God—Man’s relations with Man—What is Society?—What is Law?—the Common Good—Man’s relation to the State—Church and State relations—the Best Form of Government—Marriage and Family—Gender Relations—Private Property—Economic Inequality—Rules for Civil Obedience and Disobedience—Moral Hazard and the Welfare State—and many others.

About the Author
John O'Neill Green holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Houston, and a Doctor of Juris Prudence degree from South Texas College of Law. He is a former state legislator, and now retired lawyer, having spent 30 years representing clients in Constitutional cases and matters involving government overreach. John and his wife, Elizabeth, have been married for 47 years and they have four children and 14 grandchildren.
Michael McGowan firmly holds that modern, mainstream "higher education" degrees, with few exceptions, are worthless, and so he has chosen not to get one. However, he has studied philosophy and theology for two years at an institution outside the mainstream, which he chooses not to name. Otherwise he is an autodidact. He believes that the only real proof of education is to show what you know. He taught Latin at the high school and college level for 15 years, preferring the viva voce style. He's conversant in Spanish, and has a reading knowledge of French. His great interest is philosophy and theology, and his favorite source is St. Thomas, which he always reads in the Latin, as he finds all translations inadequate.
