Resumen:
The Economy of Communion is a faith based social initiative from the Focolare Movement. It is meant to be a social expression of its spirituality. Its main purpose is to promote firms with an economic administration based on a productive organization that seeks to harmonize the entrepreneurial rules and values with the communion values. The FM conceives this initiative as the seed of a new economic theory developing on new paradigms. About 750 businesses have been inspired by this project. The paper analyzes how this initiative has been conceived, its development, and its viability
