The Querist

<p><i>The Querist</i> by George Berkeley is a series of queries on political economy and social reform in Ireland first published in installments from 1735 to 1737. This work reflects Berkeley's deep concern for the economic and social conditions of Ireland during his time. The queries cover a broad range of topics including money industry employment and public welfare aiming to stimulate thought and action among the Irish populace and their leaders. </p> <p>Berkeley's proposals often challenge prevailing economic theories advocating for policies that encourage domestic industry and reduce dependence on foreign imports. His focus on practical solutions and moral considerations distinguishes <i>The Querist</i> as a unique contribution to the literature of political economy. Included with <i>The Querist</i> is A Word to the Wise an appeal to the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
