FRANCISCAN ECONOMICS

A STEADFAST COMMITMENT

The concept of the Civil Economy, inspired by principles such as ‘vivere sine proprio’ (living without property) and ‘usus pauper (restricted use),’ originated from the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi and early Franciscan communities in the 13th century.​

 

A Civil Economy embraces ‘usus pauper’ as a guiding principle, allowing communities to coexist with the world without the divisive notion of ownership.

 

Drawing from Karl Marx’s principles of historical materialism and the forces of production, new relations of production are formed in accordance with the ‘usus pauper’ principle.
