A chapter in Rethinking Economics Starting from the Commons, 2023, pp 147-158 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to respond to Sabina Alkire and Angus Ritchie’s chapter entitled “Winning Ideas: Lessons from Free Market Economics for the Economics of Francesco”, which invites politicians and economists to rethink and redo policies based on the need for grassroots communities and spiritual principles. Further, Alkire and Ritchie argue that the Economy of Francesco (EOF) could replicate the strategy of free market economists, namely pitching appealing stories to policy makers, nurturing future talents, and waiting until the right time to propose their policy ideas. In this article, we translate Alkire and Ritchie’s concepts into more concrete examples happening recently worldwide inside the EOF process, to explain how we can involve poor people as protagonists in development planning and implementation. For example, this can be done by engaging poor people’s voices when researching the multidimensional poverty index, developing the Children Flourishing Index, applying cross-disciplinary paradigms in academic studies, and establishing the Economy of Francesco Latin America School and Energy Communities in Brazil.
