Working in an Inclusive Economy - Carlos Martínez and Giorgio Vittadini - New York Encounter 2020

The New York Encounter

Young workers and entrepreneurs discuss Pope Francis’ economic vision with Carlos Martínez, CEO of 376 Management Group and Giorgio Vittadini, president of the Foundation for Subsidiarity and professor of statistics at the University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy, moderated by Anujeet Sareen, portfolio manager, Brandywine Global

An important area in our fragmented society that can easily become prey of ideologies and either facilitate divisions or help to overcome them is the economy. Pope Francis is very passionate about this issue and has recently sent an open letter to young men and women studying economics to "change today’s economy and to give a soul to the economy of tomorrow." A different kind of economy "one that brings life not death, one that is inclusive and not exclusive, humane and not dehumanizing, one that cares for the environment and does not despoil it." What does Pope Francis mean by this "different kind of economy"? Can its features be really relevant in the business world? How can they impact and change the everyday working experience of workers and entrepreneurs? Speakers will discuss these questions in a dialogue with young workers and entrepreneurs.
