On the Sidelines of the Manifesto “The Enterprise We Want (A New Enterprise in a New Economy)”. Reflections and Provocations for a Debate We Would Like

Some colleagues involved with Impresa Progetto – Electronic Journal of Management have chosen to contribute to the debate sparked by the publication of the Manifesto by Il Sole 24Ore, titled “The New Economy We Want and the Salvation of Civilization” which appeared on September 19, 2023. This resulted in a document, called Manifesto “The Enterprise We Want (A New Enterprise in a New Economy)”. We are adding further considerations to this text, which reflects the academic business-economic culture of its proponents, hoping to foster a fruitful dialogue. This English version was first discussed by Prof. Giovanni Masino, who lectured in a ‘Class on the Lawn’ at the EURAM Annual Conference in Bath, June 25-28, 2024. We therefore think it appropriate to open it up to the international community, thus broadening the scope of theoretical reflection.
