Fiji based social justice advocate, Father Kevin Barr, has launched a new booklet in which he argues that greed, individual and corporate, lies at the heart of the current global economic crisis.

Key issues discussed in the booklet include:

• The “scandalous” aspects of wealth and poverty in the US and other countries;
• The current growing uprising against capitalism in many parts of the world;
• The benefits for everyone of having greater equality in a society;
• The need for greater sharing, compassion and concern for the common good and how this message is affirmed in the major religious traditions of the world; and
• The need to rethink what real development is all about and what economic system will best promote authentic development.
