Pope Benedict XVIs new encyclical letter, Caritas in Veritate, in
paragraph 46 speaks of an economy of communion. As John Allen
remarked in a July 7 interview with Mundell & Associates, an
Indiana-based Economy of Communion business, The Economy of
communion was cited by Benedict XVI as a promising form of
intermediate activity between for-profit business and classic
non-profit institutions, rupturing what the pope called an
exclusively binary model of market-plus-state which is corrosive of
society. Using the language of economics, the articles in this
volume convey the principles at the root of the Economy of
Communion and explain its unique characteristics within the context
of current and historical economic thought and practice at both the
micro and macro levels. When I proposed the Economy of Communion, I
certainly did not have a theory in mind. Nonetheless, I can see
that it draws the attention of economists, sociologists,
philosophers and scholars from other disciplines (Chiara Lubich).
Over the years the Economy of Communion has come a long way. Within
a year of its beginning in 1991 a dozen pioneering businesses
already existed. Now the Economy of Communion involves over seven
hundred businesses throughout the world.
