ABSTRACT
In times of economic crisis Polish national thought was focussed on searching for solutions to economic problems. Its objective was to create a national economic system. In pursuit of a new “third path” for economic development, the young generation of the national camp was distinguished by the formulation of highly-original solutions. It opposed the development of industrialisation. It was thought to be essential to base the system on the model of the small farm and workshop as most appropriate and indicative of the highest financial profits in the development of the nation. The economic thought of ‘youth’ aimed at revising both the liberal and socialist order. It claimed that capitalism had had its day, whereas simple forms of management should be judged as promising. In drawing on Christian thought it was considered that that economic and social order could not be built on the pain of the people. Economic relations were supposed to be regulated in accordance with the principles of social justice. It was argued that economic life should be based on Christian ethics and culture. Economic issues presented by the ‘youth’ of the national camp were not based on material values, but spiritual, moral and ethical.
