Description

The Economy of Francesco (EoF) is a serious and urgent invitation to transform current economic thinking. In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis moves our hearts to undertake an integral, spiritual, and ecological conversion. The EoF is a necessary spiritual and intellectual exercise to transform the way we do finance and economics. After the catastrophic global financial crisis in 2009, and in a post-Covid era, this is the ideal time for a great reset in the ways we practice, live, and teach economics In this paper, I discuss three main ideas. First, four principles from the Theology of the People shaped Pope Francis’s thinking in Laudato Si’. Second, I suggest that these four principles from the theology of the People can be used to build The Economy of Francesco. Third, I claim that the works of Ronnie Lessem, Alexander Schieffer, and Robert Dellner are natural and current examples of the EoF.
