Opis

Presenting the economy as a place where human happiness is as paramount as profit, is a utopia. This truism is, however, confronted by the actual situation of our economy today. In this book, we find a plea for economic practices as elaborated in the Social Economy, the Purpose Economy, and the Economy of Communion.
