The Economy of Francesco

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲?

Economic life is often described through markets, transactions, and outcomes. Yet behind every enterprise, project, and institution, there is something less visible at work: 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀.

Trust enables cooperation. Reciprocity sustains communities. Shared purpose makes collaboration possible.

Perhaps this is why so many people applied to this year's EoF International Summer School. Entrepreneurs. Changemakers. Researchers.

Different experiences, different perspectives, different contexts — yet a common desire to explore how relationships shape economic life.

Can relationships generate economic value? We believe this is a question worth exploring.

A new article by members of the EoF Academy is now available on our 𝗘𝗼𝗙 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 page! 📘

“Resisting the Rule of the Rich”, written by the Public Policy thematic group, reflects on Oxfam’s Global Inequality Report and invites us to rethink the structures shaping our economies today.

It is important to distinguish between inequality as such and inequality that becomes destabilizing. A certain degree of economic and wealth differentiation is inherent to market economies and can, under appropriate institutional conditions, enhance efficiency.

Trust.

Reciprocity.

Cooperation.

Relationships.

These realities shape economic life every day, yet they often remain outside the indicators we use to understand it.

What changes when we begin to pay attention to them?

This is one of the questions at the heart of this year's EoF International Summer School, dedicated to exploring 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁.
