Abstract

On the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Encyclical Populorum Progressio, and facing a scenario of international economic and trade politics characterized by some increasing isolationist currents, the financial sector proposes a reflection about the urgent need of changing its functional paradigm.


The reflections of the Encyclical once again become of great actuality, above all for its attention towards the cooperation between peoples and nations in the world, and for the rights owned by these last ones to the welfare and to the integral human development.


At the root of the economic and financial global problems we find the “philosophic” maladies which represent three distorted visions of the person, of the enterprise and of the value. In contraposition, we propose the alternatives of the ethic funds, the tutelage of the Banks biodiversity, the vote with the wallet, and a special attention for the systems of remuneration of the figures of power in the Banks, enterprises and the intermediate financiers.
