The age of trust

Ethics and merit to start up again

The 2014 edition of the Oscar Pomilio Forum aims to reflect on the role of ethics and merit as the tools to develop a new model of well-being that includes the fundamental civil and moral values – transparency, participation, respect of human rights – within the parameters for the construction of a renewed “economy of happiness”.
