International Conference, “Manifesto and research frontiers for a Renaissance in Economics”

Program

We are living in a difficult season with challenges that put the future of our civilization at risk.

We are aware of how much economic thought, our elective field, plays a fundamental role in our culture and how much results and awareness are now mature in the research frontier that can and must push us towards a vision that overcomes barriers and reductionism, as has always been the case, in the history of scientific progress.

For this reason we believed that the time was ripe in which to propose together, colleagues from the world of Italian and international universities, a manifesto that illustrates the generative potential, satisfaction and richness of the meaning of life, of a sustainable response that can come from our discipline to today’s challenges.

Why a pre-Festival event?

The National Festival of the Civil Economy has always been a meeting place, whose purpose is to give strength and impetus to a large, democratic, generative mobilisation of people, businesses and associations committed to a new economy. Where the focus is not on profit, but on the individual and the community of which he or she is a part; where the logic of exploitation and unbridled consumerism is replaced by that of fairness and shared values; where sustainability is not just a slogan, but a real way of life.

Every year we approach a new edition of the Festival through small/big initiatives, activities and events involving supporting partners, influential guests and civil society actors. With the International Conference “Manifesto and research frontiers for a Renaissance in Economic” on 20-21 June 2024, we are officially kicking off this year’s real journey of preparation for next October’s event. Our commitment is to continue advancing the values and good practices that can lead us to a new, more equitable, sustainable and inclusive economic paradigm.
