ABSTRACT: In this paper we will
present a new model of social policy related with productive, civil economy
clusters able to generate an evolved community welfare, currently experimented
in the area of the Strait of Messina. The approach is based on anthropological
postulates much more complex than the concept of homo oeconomicus and it focuses on mesoscopic
socio-economic-ecological systems. The theoretical description is supported by
a mathematical model completely self-consistent and therefore is able to generate predictions easily verifiable through “experimental measurements”. The logical scheme is based on the idea
that local, human and economic development feeds on and
amplifies social capital, people’s
instrumental freedoms and the economic resources of the analyzed clusters.
