| Summary | "An Essay on Mediæval Economic Teaching" by George O'Brien is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book aims to explore the economic principles and doctrines that governed social and economic relations during the Middle Ages, encompassing a period marked by the intertwining of theology and economics. O'Brien argues for the importance of understanding medieval economic teachings as a foundation for contemporary economic thought, emphasizing that modern economic systems cannot be fully grasped without acknowledging the earlier principles from which they originated. The opening of the essay introduces the author's aim and scope, outlining the value of studying medieval economic teachings, which have often been overlooked in contemporary discussions. O'Brien highlights the historical significance of this economic thought, asserting that the teaching of medieval economics was not merely an art but a moral guide reflecting the social realities of the time. He notes the scarcity of comprehensive resources on this subject in English, reinforcing the need for his work. The author sets the groundwork for discussion by defining key concepts related to "mediæval," "economic," and "teaching," thereby framing the exploration of economic principles that prioritized morality and social justice over mere wealth creation.
