Integral Economics

It is time to rediscover the fundamental purpose of economics and entrepreneurship and to acknowledge the significant role of faith and theology in shaping economic processes.

Participants of the CAS «Integral Economics – Incorporating Sustainability, Ethics & Faith» will spend twelve months dealing with twelve major themes, which are fundamental to the Christian faith and to a theologically informed perspective on work, values and business ethics.
