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.
