The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) map out the contours of a global common good. They are in accord with a humanistic vision and with the insights of Catholic social teaching. Hence the new paradigm of business and economics education should place a high priority on the SDGs in all courses. Given the encompassing scope of these goals, this means moving away from a vision of economics centered solely on efficiency and economic growth, and on business as solely oriented toward private profit.
