A collection of materials related to the life and work of Right Reverend John A. Ryan, D.D., a leading Catholic thinker on
a just economy.
John A. Ryan (1869-1945) was the foremost social justice advocate and theoretician in the Catholic Church during the first
half in the 20th century. He entered St. Paul Seminary in 1892, graduated in 1898, and received his holy orders the same year.
Throughout his life, Ryan focused most of his intellectual attention on economic and political issues. His Ph.D. dissertation
was an influential early economic and moral argument for minimum wage legislation. It was published as "A Living Wage" in
1906. His published material sometimes included social issues, such as sterilization and birth control, that were important
to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Ryan's economic thought led to his alliance with the New Deal and its creator, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who agreed with his economic positions. In 1920, Ryan became the first Director of the National Catholic Welfare
Council's Social Action Department, a position which he held for 25 years until his death in 1945.

Mkusanyiko wa vifaa vinavyohusiana na maisha na kazi ya Right Reverend John A. Ryan, D.D., mtafiti mashuhuri wa Katoliki juu ya uchumi wa haki. John A. Ryan (1869-1945) alikuwa mwanaharakati wa haki ya kijamii na mwanatheolojia mashuhuri katika Kanisa Katoliki katika nusu ya kwanza ya karne ya 20. Aliingia St. Paul Seminary mwaka 1892, alihitimu mwaka 1898, na kupokea amri yake takatifu mwaka huo huo. Katika maisha yake yote, Ryan alizingatia hasa masuala ya kiuchumi na kisiasa. Ph.D. dissertation yake ilikuwa na ushawishi mapema kiuchumi na maadili hoja kwa ajili ya sheria ya mshahara wa chini. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika kitabu chake ""A Living Wage"" cha mwaka 1906." Nyakati nyingine makala zake zilihusisha masuala ya kijamii, kama vile utoaji-mimba na kudhibiti uzazi, ambayo yalikuwa muhimu kwa mafundisho ya Kanisa Katoliki. Ryan alishirikiana na New Deal na Franklin D. Roosevelt, ambaye alikubaliana na msimamo wake wa kiuchumi. Mwaka 1920 aliteuliwa kuwa Mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Kazi ya Jamii ya Baraza la Kitaifa la Welfare la Katoliki, nafasi ambayo alishikilia kwa miaka 25 hadi kifo chake mnamo 1945.
