Pope Benedict XVI Addresses Financial Meltdown, Environmental Issues, and Poverty

July 11th, 2009 · View Comments · Business Ethics, Ethics-International, General Commentary, Politics, Social and Economic Justice

Pope Benedict XVI’s third encyclical is a sweeping, 144-page document addressing and interlocking a wide range of social issues. He calls on the financial industry to tame its greed and turn to ethics, asks the United Nations and individual governments to address deep-rooted poverty issues–not only from economic development perspectives but also making sure these countries have a voice and a seat at the table of power–a political shift, in other words.

Good coverage in the Washington Post (see above link). And a shoutout to Allan Holender of the World Wide Association of Zentrepreneurs, for bringing this important document to my attention.
