The Latest from the MCE Research Centre
Can the market become a social space that empowers and fosters the active participation of socially marginalized individuals? This is the main theme of the recent MCE publication Empowering the Marginalized: The Role of Hybrid Social Impact Enterprises, written by Luca Mongelli, MCE Scientific Coordinator and Researcher (Associate Accredited) at the University of L'Aquila, and Francesco Rullani, Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
The book, published by Giappichelli and available in open access, provides a significant contribution to the discussion on empowering marginalized people and the role of social impact organizations operating in the market. It offers a counterintuitive perspective compared to traditional economic logic, which values people only if they can generate profit or remunerate capital.
In Economics for Ecclesiastics. A Guide (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, open access available), Martin Schlag, Director of MCE, and Giuseppe Schlitzer, Director of ASIF (Vatican Financial Supervisory Authority), explore the role of Catholic social teaching in understanding the major developments in global markets and managing ecclesiastical assets.
The book's themes were discussed at the conference "Economics and Management of Ecclesiastical Assets", featuring presentations by Sr. Helen Alford, President of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Paolo Garonna, President of the Centesimus Annus Foundation, Fabio Gasperini, Secretary General of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See, Giulio Maspero, Dean of the Faculty of Theology at PUSC, and Michael Ryan, Professor at UER.
