Economy of Communion in Freedom

Companies on every continent are involved in the Economy of Communion.

Participating business owners freely choose to distribute their profits for three equally important purposes:

Retain earnings to grow the business, and thus create new jobs, and to increase efficiency, and thus improve profitability - all to the benefit of those in need
Directly help people in need, beginning with those who share the spirit animating the Economy of Communion
Spread the "Culture of Giving" stemming from the spirituality of unity so that more and more people will learn to freely participate in the communion characterizing the movement

Using the language of economics, the articles in this volume convey the principles at the root of the Economy of Communion and explain its unique characteristics within the context of current and historical economic thought and practice at both the micro and macro levels. When I proposed the Economy of Communion, I certainly did not have a theory in mind. Nonetheless, I can see that it draws the attention of economists, sociologists, philosophers and scholars from other disciplines (Chiara Lubich). Over the years the Economy of Communion has come a long way. Within a year of its beginning in 1991 a dozen pioneering businesses already existed. Now the Economy of Communion involves over seven hundred businesses throughout the world. Read more at New City Press ...

During a 1991 trip to Brazil, Chiara Lubich challenged Focolare members to launch businesses that could create jobs and opportunities. Almost twenty years later, Benedict XVI cited the Economy of Communion in Caritas in Veritate as a promising form of intermediate activity between for-profit business and classic non-profit institutions."
