According to Cieszkowski, the history of humanity is in increasing solidarity and closeness to God in accordance with the Hegelian dialectic understanding. August Cieszkowski, historical, physical existence or pre-Christian period. He divides it into three: the period of reflection, which will end with the coming of the Holy Spirit, and the period of solidarity and brotherhood when the Kingdom of God will be realized on earth. Arguing that the last period is being prepared with a gradual process of change, August Cieszkowski believes that Slavic nations and especially Poles have great duties in this regard.
According to Cieszkowski, in order to accelerate the realization of the Kingdom of God on earth, social and economic reforms must be based on three fundamental principles: Assurance to everyone in what they have, can be, and should be. When the period of solidarity and brotherhood begins, religious beliefs will dominate social life. In this phase, when the nations are free and independent in government, all nations will be united under an international church. This international church will be under the rule of an international government. According to Cieszkowski, the economic organization in this period would be based on the principle of international economic unity.

Cieszkowski, who developed a new monetary system in his most important book on economics, "On Credit and Circulation", defined credit as a tool that transforms fixed and invested capital into working capital.
