ABOUT THE EVENT: While the increasing economic influence of China continues to bring about significant sociocultural shifts, the hidden treasures of its traditional wisdom, such as Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, still seem not sufficiently well recognized. The "Macau Manifesto" has been developed by a wide range of economists focused on common values, especially the principles of fairness, solidarity, subsidiarity and orientation to the common good. The goal is to develop a new economic paradigm which is oriented towards the common good of the larger society rather than just to the benefit of privileged segments of society, by relating present dilemmas and conflicts in business to key values in times of AI.
