Global financial capitalism has eroded the moral economy on which all economic exchanges ultimately depend. The principles of reciprocity, responsibility and redistribution, which for centuries defined the market place, have been increasingly pushed aside by a growth model that places the pursuit of profit above all else.

Drawing on the Italian tradition of civic humanism, political economists Luigino Bruni and Stefano Zamagni, advocate the need for a more well-mannered type of economic market – a civil economy – which places well-being, virtue, and the common good alongside more familiar economic goals like market share, increased productivity, and competitiveness.

This book provides an introduction to the civil economy approach. It explores its origins and development, examines the thought and ideas of some of its pioneers and main representatives, and explains the many different fields of application of the civil economy, from the determination of gross domestic product to the management of common goods, from welfare to the organization of production and consumption. Civil economy seeks to find solutions to social problems within the market – while maximizing human values and minimizing government intervention – rather than seek to replace the market. It is a distinct and valuable approach and one that offers individuals, corporations and governments a framework for a humane and socially accountable, yet productive and competitive system of markets.

This volume has a double purpose. First of all, it follows an Italian tradition of thought that began in the 15th and 16th centuries as Civic Humanism and continued up until the golden period of Italian Enlightenment as represented by the Schools of Milan and Naples. Its main contribution to the history of economic thought is its conception of the market as a place centered on the principle of reciprocity and civil virtues. This book explains why the civil approach to economics disappeared from cultural debates, scientific enquiries and the public arena at the end of the 18th century, only to surface again in more recent times.

Come riaffermare oggi il principio cooperativo nelle relazioni tra persone e tra imprese che operano in un mercato già divenuto globale? Da angolature diverse e sulla scorta di una pluralità di approcci teorici, gli Autori dei dieci scritti offrono un contributo originale attingendo alla tradizione di pensiero dell’economia civile, saggiandone la capacità di concorrere a sciogliere nodi problematici quali la crisi di fiducia istituzionale, le difficoltà di affermare le ragioni della libertà positiva, il peggioramento della felicità pubblica, l’eccesso delle varie forme di competizione posizionale.

Description:

The recent era of economic turbulence has generated a growing enthusiasm for an increase in new and original economic insights based around the concepts of reciprocity and social enterprise. This stimulating and thought-provoking Handbook not only encourages and supports this growth, but also emphasises and expands upon new topics and issues within the economics discourse.

Un bimbo che oggi nasce in Congo, o una bambina che nascerà in Europa tra vent’anni, hanno il diritto di porre domande sul nostro modello di sviluppo e sui nostri stili di vita, perché le nostre scelte di oggi stanno già modificando la loro vita, a volte in meglio ma altre in peggio. L’economia civile, di cui il libro illustra genesi e campi di applicazione, cerca risposte non fuori dall’economia di mercato ma all’insegna di un mercato diverso, «civile» dove le parole felicità, onore, virtù, bene comune, possono essere riscoperte proprio in chiave economica, lasciando spazio ad una prospettiva etica e non puramente individualistica.

Per lungo tempo la scienza economica si è fondata su una visione antropologica ristretta: l’uomo è homo oeconomicus. Oggi, con il complicarsi della dinamica sociale, politica ed economica, tale prospettiva appare superata. Tra i nuovi paradigmi, l’Economia civile offre un modello di pensiero e di prassi economica che coniuga individuo e comunità, libertà e fraternità, mercati e vita civile, spirituale, gratuità e contratto.
