The Economy and the Challenge of the Common Good
By Carlo Zonato
When we speak of peace, we often think of diplomacy, treaties, international institutions or conflict prevention. All these are essential. But peace does not exist only in the realm of politics. It also takes shape wherever people work, produce, consume, raise their children, build trust or experience exclusion.
For this reason, the economy cannot be considered a sphere separate from the culture of peace.
A dignified job can restore hope. A responsible business can strengthen a community. Conversely, an unjust economic decision can create divisions, resentment and distrust.
