What's Wrong With the World

What's Wrong With the World

G. K. Chesterton

Published in 1910, 'What's Wrong With the World' is a collection of essays by G. K. Chesterton, a prominent English writer known for his paradoxical style. The book expands on a brief response Chesterton made to The Times newspaper's inquiry about societal issues, where he humorously stated, 'Dear Sirs, I am.' Through these essays, he critiques contemporary social and political issues with his characteristic wit and conservative perspective, making it a notable work in Christian apologetics and social commentary.
