- Abstract
Zdziechowski Jerzy (1880-1975) was a politician, economist and economic activist. In the period 1917-1918 he was a member of the Polish Council of the Inter-Party Union (Rada Polska Zjednoczenia Międzypartyjnego) in Russia and a co-organizer of the Polish Corps in Russia. In 1919, he was one of the main participants in the failed coup d'etat attempting to overthrow the government of Jędrzej Moraczewski. In the period 1922-1927 he was a member of the Seym from the Popular National Union. In the years 1925-1926 he was the Minister of the Treasury in the government of A. Skrzyński. He developed the economic and financial program for stabilizing the Polish zloty, which caused such side effects as, i.a.: reduced employment, lowered wages, and reduced exports of agricultural products, as well as significant increases in taxes and price increases. However, the program allowed to achieve balanced budget. The program's implementation resulted in the withdrawal of the Polish Socialist Party from the ruling coalition, which led to the fall of the government. In the years 1926-1933 he was a member of the Council of the Camp of Great Poland, which was founded and led by Roman Dmowski. Until 1939 he was an activist of economic organizations. From September 1939 he resided abroad. After World War II, he was the chairman of the Executive Department of the Political Council in London on behalf of the National Party. Jerzy Zdziechowski was characterized by theoretical eradication and the ability to achieve macroeconomic goals within the framework of economic policy, which he proved by managing financial issues in the period 1925-26 as well as by his creative criticism of Polish politics of the period 1926-39. His main publications include such works as: "The Finances of Poland 1924-1925" (published in 1925); "Myth of the Golden Currency" (published in 1937); "Economic Vision of Total Emergency" (1954 edition); "Treasury and Money 1919-1939" (published in 1955).
