This book presents a novel approach to economics, rooted in the concept of the commons and inspired by the Economy of Francesco (EoF), a global movement of young individuals seeking to transform current economic models and establish a fair, sustainable, and inclusive economic system. Convened by Pope Francis, EoF draws inspiration from St. Francis of Assisi and incorporates Franciscan economic principles and social sciences theories. Throughout the volume, the authors raise and address critical questions, such as: What if university economics courses prioritized the study of commons rather than private goods? What if social businesses became the norm, and ethical and green finance dominated the traditional financial sector? Can we shift from consumer primacy to the prominence of ethical consumers who express their preferences for an inclusive, sustainable, and workers-friendly economic system through their daily choices?
To provide a fresh perspective, the book incorporates the insights of prominent scholars, which are then discussed and analyzed by young international scholars. This integration offers a comprehensive analysis with a glimpse of hope for the future. This book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and researchers in economics and related disciplines interested in exploring alternative economic frameworks
alternatives to the current economic mainstream, particularly in the context of the Economy of Francesco.
