TOWARDS "THE ECONOMY OF FRANCESCO"

With the publication of the document "Oeconomicae et pecuniariae quaestiones", elaborated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Department for the Service of Integral Human Development, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Milan, has promoted the activation of a multi-voice dialogue aimed at reflecting on the development of a sustainable and inclusive economic and financial system.

Built as an interdisciplinary project, aimed at all students and appropriately recognized in the university curriculum, the project is based on labs, involving together students, academics and industry operators. Students become the pivotal player in rethinking economic and financial models, equipped with the necessary tools and guided by academic and operators.

The labs deals with twelve thematic areas, associated with the main topics covered by the document such as general issues relating to the purposes and regulation of the financial system, and more specific topics (like good credit practices, social and environmental sustainability and new reporting practices and models of financial biodiversity), without neglecting cutting-edge issues such as cryptocurrencies and FinTech. There is no lack of labs devoted to the political dimension of the financial markets, overcoming inequalities, a critical rethinking of the enterprise's objectives, work, consumption and the relationship between economy and gratuity.

The response of students, academic and professionals to the proposal was surprising, in terms of quantity and intensity of interest (about 700 students and 80 academic and professionals are participating in the labs).
