See also:GIOJA, MELCHIORRE (1767-1829) , See also:Italian writer on See also:philosophy and See also:political See also:economy, was See also:born at See also:Piacenza, on the loth of See also:September 1767. Originally intended for the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)

church, he took orders, but renounced them in 1796 and went to See also:Milan, where he devoted himself to the study of political economy. Having obtained the See also:prize for an See also:essay on " the See also:kind of See also:free See also:government best adapted to See also:Italy " he decided upon the career of a publicist. The arrival of See also:Napoleon in Italy See also:drew him into public See also:life. He advocated a See also:republic under the dominion of the See also:French in a pamphlet I Tedeschi, i Francesi, ed i Russi in Lombardia, and under the Cisalpine Republic he was named historiographer and director of See also:statistics. He was several times imprisoned, once for eight months in 1820 on a See also:charge of being implicated in a See also:conspiracy with the See also:Carbonari. After the fall of Napoleon he retired into private life, and does not appear to have held See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office again. He died on the 2nd of See also:January 1829. Gioja's fundamental See also:idea is the value of statistics or the collection of facts. Philosophy itself is with him See also:classification and See also:consideration of ideas. See also:Logic he regarded as a See also:practical See also:art, and his Esercizioni logici has the further See also:title, Art of deriving benefit from See also:ill-constructed books. In See also:ethics Gioja follows See also:Bentham generally, and his large See also:treatise Del merito e delle recompense (1818) is a clear and systematic view of social ethics from the utilitarian principle. In political economy this avidity for facts produced better fruits. The Nuovo Prospetto delle scienze economiche (1815-1817), although See also:long to excess, and overburdened with classifications and tables, contains much valuable material. The author prefers large properties and large commercial undertakings to small ones, and strongly favours association as a means of See also:production. He defends a restrictive policy and insists on the See also:necessity of the See also:action of the See also:state as a regulating See also:power in the See also:industrial See also:world. He was an opponent of ecclesiastical domination. He must be credited with the finest and most See also:original treatment of See also:division of labour since the See also:Wealth of Nations. Much of what See also:Babbage taught later on the subject of combined See also:work is anticipated by Gioja. His theory of production is also deserving of See also:attention from the fact that it takes into See also:account and gives due prominence to immaterial goods.
