Chestertonian distributism is something I like to push too.
But I don't think it is the only model and I think that as we get more distributive systems working side-by-side we will see interesting network effects come into play.
For example, Chestertonian distributism places a large emphasis on guilds. But there isn't a reason why for-profit corporations owned in significant part by their employees can't function like guilds. Again, a business like WL Gore strikes me as very distributist in how it works on the ground. For example WL Gore is largely owned these days by the employees and the employees have tremendous freedom to work where they feel they add value. The organization provides mentoring for employees etc.
