Economy of Communion

 
In 1991, during a trip to Brazil, and as a response to social inequality, Chiara Lubich launched an innovative economic proposal: the "Economy of Communion in Freedom" (EOC). This quickly developed in many countries, currently involving over 800 businesses worldwide and giving rise to a new economic system. Its guidelines include sharing part of the businesses’ profits to help those in need and to foster the growth of the structures and programs of formation for the spreading of a culture of giving.
