| Ethics and the National Economy by Heinrich Pesch |
| From the Publisher Written toward the end of World War I, this study of economics tackles the issue from the standpoint of religion and philosophy by summarizing the Catholic school of economics, which insists that the welfare of human beings belongs at the center of any real economy and that other systems that place either the individual or the state at the center of their schemes are not only false, but actually injurious to individuals, families, communities, and nations. Extensive documentation and citations from leading economic theorists are provided. About the Author: Heinrich Pesch was a leading Jesuit priest in Germany and the author of a five-volume work on national economics. Dr. Rupert Ederer is a professor emeritus of economics at State University College in Buffalo. He is the translator of Pesch's massive five-volume textbook. He lives in Clarence, New York. |
