Putting the "Economy of Francesco" into a wider frame

What is it about?

The paper describes the impact of the Economy of Francesco (EoF) on the economic debate and practices, within the framework of Catholic Social Teaching. EoF is a cultural and experiential process and event held online and through several meetings around the world between March 2020 and September 2022 and it's still running. The paper underlines the anthropological limitations of homo oeconomicus, with his methodological egoism and procedural rationality, and the calls for a broader approach to economic education. The paper highlights the strengths and weaknesses of EoF and reviews what has been already accomplished in the process and what is still to be accomplished
