Abstract

An assessment of labour and of entrepreneurship, according to a personalistic economic system, cannot ignore the possibility that besides a productive and informative participation1, much benefit may result for everybody through the introduction of more determinant ways of involving workers in company life. In particular there is the participation in the economic result — that is a wage partially proportioned to company profit — and the participation in capital — with the consequent participation in decision-making processes and the possible claiming of dividends from share capital; these two forms are consistent with Catholic social ethics and are able to give a contribution achieving common welfare.
