Abstract
A change in lifestyle can a healthy pressure on those who hold political, economic and social power. It is what happens when the movements of consumers manage to change the behavior of the businesses, forcing them to consider the environmental impact and the production models. “Buying is always a moral action, as well as economic”. With these words Pope Francis underlines, in his last encyclical Laudato si’, the relevance of the “voto col portafoglio” (voting with the wallet), i.e., the importance of the consumer decisions in the era of the global economy. As stated in the document Gaudium et spes the economy as well as the socio-economic life must be at the service of man and not vice versa. The “civil economy” (“economia civile”) and the "voto col portafoglio" represent today a path from Gaudium et spes to Pope Francis suggests contemporary man as govern the global economy through the common good.
