On May 11, the Mexican Institute of Christian Social Doctrine, IMDOSOC, convened an academic conference entitled “Towards a Sustainable, inclusive and supportive economic paradigm”. Dr. Cécile Renouard, who chairs the “Campus de la Transition” in France, was virtually linked to delivering the Master Conference “Ethical Challenges for the Economy”. This experience was in tune with Pope Francis’ call to the youth, through the initiative “The Economy of Francesco”, to be protagonists and reanimate the economy.

A clear proposal that transverses the academic, business and social initiatives of mobilization of change from the current economy to the economy of tomorrow – thus called pact.

As we get closer to our meeting in Assisi, I want to share with you a few words about some economic ideas that can build a basis on which we can think together about a new way of conceiving the economy. All three ideas are very well connected to Pope Francis’ writings and thoughts and are able to deal with our many contemporary challenges: the environmental crisis, high levels of inequality, precarious labor, political extremism and/or indifference.
