The objective of this article is twofold: (i) to rethink economics and politics from fraternity perspective. And, on the other hand, (ii) to highlight the contributions of some authors from the Economy of Francesco (EoF) to the proposal of a fraternal economy and a fraternal economics. How can fraternity be conceived in the current version of capitalism, amidst inequalities and the environmental crisis? Firstly, the concept of political fraternity is presented, and how Ángel Puyol understands mutual aid; secondly, it is shown how Stefano Zamagni proposes the principle of fraternity from the paradigm of Civil Economy, not only for economic life, but also for economic thought; thirdly, what Luigino Bruni and Robert Sugden postulate about market relations that would be fraternal, where mutual assistance is understood as team reasoning, is presented; fourthly, what some of the authors from Economy of Francesco write about fraternity, about we-rationality, and about its political dimension are analysed; Finally, some conclusions of the study are provided.
