A Comparative Discussion of their Aims and Logic of Action
Abstract
The enterprises participating in the ‘Economy of Communion’ movement commit to
allocating up to two thirds of their profits for the help of people in need and the diffusion,
especially in the economic sphere, of a culture of giving and sharing. Moreover, they commit
to a management and operation style that stresses the dignity of every person and aims at
creating relationships of mutual recognition and openness among all those who are involved
in the enterprise’s activity. The aim of this paper is to highlight the similarities and underline
the differences between the businesses participating in the ‘Economy of Communion’
movement and some other examples of the so called social and civil economy.
