Jean-Yves Calvez (1927–2010) entered the Jesuit order at an early age and studied both political science and law in Paris. Not yet thirty, he published a very well-received book on the thought of Karl Marx. He spent much of the following decade teaching social science but combining academic work with practical application. It was during this period that he wrote Église et société économique with Fr. Jacques Perrin. He is thought to have been one of the advisors to Pope St. John XXIII in the drafting of the 1961 encyclical Mater et Magistra. After serving as provincial superior for the Jesuits in France, he went to Rome in 1971 as one of the principal deputies to the Superior General of the order, Fr. Pedro Arrupe. In this position, he traveled the world promoting the work of the order. Following this assignment, he returned to teaching and writing in Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

Jacques Perrin (1919–2018) studied chemistry as a young man before entering the French army at the beginning of the Second World War. He was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident and during his convalescence, he began to read philosophy. This awakened a desire in him to be a priest, and after the war he entered the Jesuit order. A decade later, while pursuing work in moral theology in Rome, he began a collaboration with Fr. Jean-Yvez Calvez, which resulted in their well-known book on the Catholic social tradition, Église et société économique. In the following years he continued to write on social ethics and to teach in Toulon, in Marseilles, and in Africa. [End Page 152]
