Economic crisis calls for a practical philosophy to fix things.
More mutterings from an economic soul - Do unto others as you would have them do to you is a practical solution to our economic problems.
The separation of church and state is not working out too well when it comes to our economic crisis. There really in no personal separation of church and state inside of each us as a person. Perhaps that is why our founding fathers thought they were following an order where religion would be protected against state interference and not the other way around. The saying, it is nothing personal, it's only business, gives us an idea of this separation in our own beings does not exist. Liberalism tends to break apart the person to separate the individual liberties with the personality of the person. However, as we go through the day be it at Saturday or Sunday worship , at work or in our business transactions, we find that in everything we do and say comes from a species that is both material matter and spiritual form. The spiritual part, our form, or call it our personality surfaces in all the things we do. It is impossible to ignore but liberalism keep trying to do separate the two. They maintain that you can do anything you want to do as long as you are not hurting another person. However, every human act is a give and take proposition. It is not a one way affair. Every action leaves a ripple effect across the whole of society.
A practical philosophy or say the order of things, demands the best from us in all our interactions with one another. This includes in the workday and the business world. An order of things keeps demanding that we act with a community spirit. The center of this is the a life ideal for all members of a community and not just a few. Also a few can not rule for all members and each member has a rightful place to seek the life ideal for themselves subject to the general needs of the whole community. Pope Benedict suggest the practice of subsidiarity where all decisions are made at the lowest possible level. It is at a point where all in any decision making are in tune with others in the process.
Up to now in history, we find that making a living is closely related to a free enterprise system for all to share in the results as equally as possible. Any time, someone or some system comes and does not allow this to happen, the order of things starts up to fix whatever is wrong.
In our times, free trade came and there really no economic model for it in history. Never before have people tried to move production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. It usually was the other way around where production and the making or growing of things were localized in order to be controlled by balances and the order of things in smaller settings that contained geopolitical balances. When it comes to human beings in the work place , one size does not fit all. The work or business transactions must fit into the order of things in a given community. Chopping up a balance order of things brings more than disharmony to a community but all that is wrong outside of the community comes breaks up all that is right with a community.
We can talk about the increases in technology and greater efficiency in a work or business environment but if this increase comes from other places where impoverished workers are used to cut costs or where workers are forced to work 70 hours a week, the process boomerangs back to any community where a new balance is created that is less than it was.
That is why we keep repeating that local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings work and obviously taking things global mixes all the bad with the good with the bad parts usually dominating the process.
