Głos Kościoła w obronie biednych na arenie międzynarodowej

Abstract

Business activity undergoes global transformations, which apply to the whole world and all societies. The process of “shrinking” of the world and the growing interdependencies between regional processes make us look at the problem of poverty widely and globally. Poverty is now closely related to liberalization of trade on a world's scale, flight of the capital, lack of consequences, mistakes in economic decisions, domination of economic powers and international firms. These processes often bring about exploitation, enslavement and uncertainty, especially in smaller and weaker subjects of economic life. Through the upbringing to overall human solidarity and perceiving the world as a common home for everyone, the Church prepares the basis for international dialogue. The presence of the faithful in the activity of various international institutions, and the example of being interested in the problem of the poorest, should sooner or later bring fruit in a new, more Christian and humane treatment of these who remain in poverty.
