Ubóstwo zakonne a gospodarka rynkowa

Abstrakt

The article, starting with the canonical context of religious poverty, shows the perspectives of its understanding and implementation both in history and in the present day economic situation. The issue is related, on the one hand, to the way monasteries function in the current economic reality, and on the other, to the necessity to more precisely define theological concepts pertinent to economic life. The connection of monasteries to the external economic reality is growing stronger, which creates both opportunities and threats. Market, brand, management are only some areas potentially open to dialogue with spirituality through which they may be greatly enriched, introducing, in turn, new qualities to the life of our society, especially in the field of tradition or help to the needy.
