Heinrich Pesch on Solidarist Economics presents excerpts from Lehrbuch der Nationalökonomie, written by Pesch, and probably the longest economics textbook ever written, in English for the first time. This five volume work appeared in several editions in German between 1905 and 1926. With this text, Pesch created one of the few original economics works, in which he proposed the solidarist system of human work in juxtaposition to individualistic capitalism and collectivistic socialism, both of which he critiqued and opposed. Through this proposal, he also introduced a social philosphy, solidarism. The translator provides some of the most representative excerpts to demonstrate the nucleus of what the German Jesuit scholar attempted to accomplish in his textbook. His ideas prominently impacted the Roman Catholic Church's social teachings from 1931 through the present teachings of Pope John Paul II.
This is the first English translation of the works of Heinrich Pesch, SJ (1854-1926). Pesch, a German Jesuit scholar and economist, wrote the longest, most exhaustive economics text ever written, one that deserves to be regarded as a kind of Summa Economica. The five-volume Lehrbuch der Nationalokonomie examines all serious economic thinking up until Pesch's time, culling what was deficient, retaining what was worthwhile, and filling in what its author perceived to be lacking. The result was a design for an economic system that is opposed to both classically liberal capitalism and state socialism, based instead on Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophical premises. Pesch developed many of the basic principles which emerged in the social encyclicals of the Catholic Church.

Written toward the end of World War I, this study of economics tackles the issue from the standpoint of religion and philosophy by summarising the Catholic school of economics, which insists that the welfare of human beings belongs at the centre of any real economy and that other systems that place either the individual or the state at the centre 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.
