The Economy of Communion (EoC), the model of the Focolare Movement, may provide a solution to integrating spirituality and the economy. In the EoC, entrepreneurs are inspired by principles rooted in a culture different than what prevails in conventional practice and theory of economics. We can define this “culture” as a “culture of giving,” which is the antithesis of a “culture of having.” Since the inception of the concept almost two decades ago, it has been developed from an idea to a proven practice: it is a project involving hundreds of companies spanning five continents and numerous industries and countries, and it has attracted the interest of scholars and economists alike.
