Abstract
The history of the Polish irenological thought goes back to the Middle Ages. The author presents, in a synthetic form and chronological order, concepts of peace developed before the beginning of the twentieth century. Economic arguments have always accompanied the Polish concept of peace. Their strength varied depending on the general social and intellectual trends prevailing in particular epochs. However, until the publication of The Future of War by John Bloch (1836–1902), economic arguments were never the main arguments for peace. This article is an attempt to show the originality and meaning of the thought of John Bloch – the creator of the concept of peace based strictly on economic arguments.
