Social Economics is a way of thinking about economic affairs that begins with the philosphical foundations. It begins at this level, frequently overlooked by mainstream economists, to illustrate how critical premises are in the construction of an economy and the repair of a dysfunctional economy.
Social Economics uses these premises to undertake a rich range of empirical and policy related work. Much of this work is represented in this volume, which brings together leading practioners from the field of social economics. Subjects addressed include:
* values and premises in social economics
* justice, solidarity and community
* repairing the dysfunction of capitalist economies
* the transition from command economies

Edward J. O’Boyle is a social economist whose work is grounded in a personalism which affirms the dignity of every human being, and which asserts that the central purpose of any economic system is to meet human material need. This work is probably best reflected in his book The Social Economics of Human Material Need.
