The theme is tested not only in its purely economic, but above all as an integrated and sustainable model able to overcome the conditions that lead to the impoverishment and ignorance, illiteracy, violence, violation of human rights. Particular attention is paid to the levers that, not only in the least developed countries but in the entire global scenario, can generate an acceleration in the process of improving the living conditions of a society.
