It’s about time to give up the inclination of maximizing profits in order to rely on a new logic: the one of giving, sharing and solidarity throughout the world. Why not substituting the slogan “this is mine for me” for a new idea, “this is mine for us”? THIS IS THE LOGIC OF GOSPEL, REAL VOCATION OF MANKIND. STATES AND ASSOCIATION ARE STRUGGLING FOR AID AND CO-OPERATION FOR DEVELOPMENTAL PURPOSES. TRADE UNIONS AND MANY HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATIONS ARE FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE. In this great effort towards solidarity, a new expression is emerging as good news: The Economy of Communion. Let us listen to Chiara Lubich, an Italian woman, who is the initiator of the idea: “there should be enterprises and industries managed by competent employees who have necessary skills to efficiently run an organisation and able to derive high returns. A part of these returns should be shared with those in need.” KEYWORDS parole chiave DATA / DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE dati/documenti disponibili
