Through three guiding principles - theoritical backing, experiences and people (scholars, workers and entrepreneurs) - the Dictionary intends to give "voice" to the civil dimension of economy.

Starting from the conviction that market, business and economy are also in themselves places of gratuitousness and fraternity, civil economy proposes a humanism with various dimensions. It´s one in which market is not fought against but lived in as a space open to the principles of reciprocity and solidarity, and therefore capable of buildling up the city. An economic science and praxi that make room for the principle of gift within (and not beside) economic theory.
