Zamagni

This book proposes, from a civil perspective —such as that developed by Stefano Zamagni— and a cordial perspective —such as that developed by Adela Cortina—, orientations to design an economy in tune with what the historical moment demands. Among other things, this comes from encouraging institutions, organisations and companies to include in their designs aspects as important for carrying out their activities as cordial reciprocity, mutual recognition of the communicative and affective capacities of the linked or linkable parties, public commitment and the active participation of civil society.

Ugo Biggeri, presidente di Banca Etica, offre un vero e proprio strumento di educazione finanziaria, per capire questioni fondamentali in tema di banche, finanza ed economia. Biggeri invita a pensare l'economia in termini più umani, coinvolgenti e responsabilizzanti, mostrando chiaramente come le nostre piccole scelte siano importanti. Anche spostare un conto corrente può essere un atto di responsabilizzazione, perché i nostri soldi vengono investiti e lavorano anche di notte, ma forse non servono a sostenere la visione del mondo che vorremmo promuovere: spesso, mentre noi ci impegniamo per una giusta causa, i nostri soldi gestiti dalle banche lavorano contro di noi.
