“The Economy for the Common Good at a Local Level, scientific paper by Rosario Gómez-Álvarez Díaz, University of Sevilla; Rafael Morales-Sánchez ,University Pablo de Olavide and Carmen Rodríguez-Morilla; Universidad of Sevilla.
This work has presented for the first time the Economy for the Common Good applied at a municipal level, detailing the strategies a municipality must follow to become a Common Good Municipality. This presentation has described the indicators used by the Common Good Balance Sheet. This is a new evaluation tool for its object of evaluation, the common good, for its subject, public administration, and for its vocation of transforming society. Future research might compare the indicators of the Municipal/Local Common Good Balance Sheet to others that are already being used at a municipal level to try to improve these indicators and reflect on their suitability. Therefore, this work is presented as an initial contribution to reflection and debate regarding the proposal of the Common Good Economy in relation to other critical contributions that consider the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the municipality. It is also hoped that this article will provide a working document so that the scientific community from diverse and specific fields of knowledge and, above all, companies, social entities and public bodies can contribute to the creation of a social and economic space that truly promotes the Common good from the municipal level for all citizens.
