This paper examines Francis’ economic thought that is at the centre of international public debate. Francis elaborates four pillars: critique of money idolatry; rejection of the trickle-down theory; support of inclusive institutions; introduction of a green economy. My analysis points out Francis wakes up the interest for social economics because he originally communicates the philosophy behind it. In fact, Francis pointed out the necessity of a change of economics in the perspective of social values.

Abstract
This paper examines Francis’ economic thought that is at the centre of international public debate. Francis elaborates four pillars: critique of money idolatry; rejection of the trickle-down theory; support of inclusive institutions; introduction of a green economy. My analysis points out Francis wakes up the interest for social economics because he originally communicates the philosophy behind it. In fact, Francis pointed out the necessity of a change of economics in the perspective of social values.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
