New Financial Horizons: The Emergence of an Economy of Communion

Gold examines the origins and substance of a promising alternative to the current globalized economy. The Economy of Communion, which started within the Focolare Movement in 1991, involves a worldwide network of solidarity among some 800 firms that together constitute a vibrant business community based upon the values of sharing, caring and justice. Drawing on the experiences of an international sample of business and community leaders, particularly from the United States and Brazil, Lorna Gold explains the historical and philosophical origins of this fascinating yet little known global community.
