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.

Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A collection of essays examining the role of banks and financial institutions within the framework of Saint-Simonian economic thought. The book offers a deep dive into the ideas of the Saint-Simonian school, particularly its emphasis on the importance of banking systems in promoting industrial development and social progress during the 19th century. The contributors explore different aspects of Saint-Simonianism, highlighting the movement's vision of a future industrial society in which banks would serve as engines of economic transformation and social harmony. This interdisciplinary volume examines the intersection of economic theory, social reform, and industrial policy, shedding light on the broader implications of Saint-Simonian ideas for European banking practices and financial institutions. The essays also contrast the Saint-Simonian approach to banking with traditional capitalist models, exploring its unique emphasis on economic cooperation and investment in public goods over individual profit. Key themes include the relationship between industrialization and banking, the role of banks in economic modernization, and the influence of Saint-Simonian thought on political economy and social reform across Europe.
