Description
Obamanomics and Francisconomics, is committed to combining the experience and life of two leaders, belonging to two different worlds but so similar in some respects with the current economy. The two terms, in fact, are two neologisms (like many others present in the text) coined by the author on the basis of Obama, Francis and their economy, to make the reader completely immersed in the underlying concept that the author wants to express. It makes us reflect on how effectively these two aspects of reality do not differ much from each other and how much the future and sustainability depend "on the ability and willingness of President Barack Obama and Pope Francis to produce more leaders than followers. These leaders are, in Obama's words, the 'relay race which is human progress'."
