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.
