The French philosopher and economist Saint-Simon (1760?1825)
propounded a new political, economic and social order in which the
quest for economic efficiency and social justice led to putting the
workers at the forefront. On his death, his disciples worked to
preserve his thought and developed it in numerous writings.
This book explains why the Saint-Simonians could not be content
with the existing economic and social order and how they planned to
organise society and the role banks were to play in it. It contains
a selection of old texts, written by the main Saint-Simonian
thinkers, published in the press in French between 1826 and 1831,
which show the Saint-Simonian conception of the organisation of
society and the place allotted to banks.
It is an indispensable reference work in understanding a current
of thought which greatly contributed to the industrial expansion of
the nineteenth century. This book will be of interest to
postgraduate students, economists, historians and philosophers
interested in the history of economic thought.
