July 21st 2009 01:30
Updated Aug 2, 2009 Ray Tapajna Chronicles forecasted the economic storms years ago.
Many experts like Sir James Goldsmith (The Trap ) and Manuel Castells ( The Bewildered New World) predicted it . Pope Benedict response to the Belwidered New World in his economic encyclical - Charity is truth- may be too late.

Is it too late and too little to stop the surge of Globalism? It's obvious that workers have no voice in the process.
Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out. President Obama has merged big government with big money with bail outs of the financial communities instead of helping those who lost their jobs directly. The bail outs act as tariffs on future generations.
Here at The Rationale Com , we have many articles relating to the latent response of religion and philosophy in the betrayal of workers human dignity and the common good in the global economic arena and most of our previous posts are now directly related to the Pope's encyclical.
Here is one of our many updated posts on this subject
It comes down to this. Many say it is only human nature to buy things
at the most cheapest prices possible without considering how the the prices were
came about and how human dignity was sacrificed for the sake of price.
Jesus Christ gave us a practical solution - He said to unto others as
you would have them do to you. Social Justice and the common good rests
with the persons who prompt the practical solution first. Workers are consumers too. Consumers have the power to effect events.
Workers have not voice in the process of globalization and free trade but they do
have power as consumers.
With globalization, shoppers shop their way out of their jobs because
they do not consider all the ramifications related to their purchases.
One of the best parts in Pope Benedict's encyclical is his pointing
to the power consumers really have to cause changes. Human nature
serves us to seek what is good and to avoid what is not. This is
perhaps the charity in truth, Pope Benedict calls out for. It is not
only a Catholic thing. It flows from the natural good that that keeps
sifting out the bad in an order of things.
The Pope's encyclical states - Economic activity cannot solve all social problems
through the simple application of commericial logic. This needs to be directed towards
the common good, for which the political community in particular must also take
responsibility This includes workers as consumers with the responsibility of
seeking the common good when they are shopping.
Just imagine what could come about if consumers made a judgement call on
what is good and what is bad for only about 25 percent of their
purchases.
It comes down to this. 20 cents an hour workers in the less prosperous
nations can not afford to buy much including the very things they make.
In the more prosperous nations, we now have a vast new working poor
class that can not afford the cheaper imports. The process consumes
itself.
The U.S. Government itself tested the waters many years ago. They
sponsored the moving of factories outside the USA starting in 1956. It
was supposed to be must a temporary program to test a process that would
help out the Mexican and Central American economies while supplying U.S.
consumers with cheaper goods. This program never ended and it never
worked.
After NAFTA was passed, more than 4,000 U.S. factories had been moved to
Mexico alone. After getting it passed, President Clinton had to rush
billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso and ultimately other
money in the world threatened by a domino effect. None of this
stopped the flood of Mexican workers to America seeking economic
survival. Free trade has been a massive failure for years but our
economy grew into one that was based on making money on money instead of
making things and there was few alternatives left. Now the tariffs that
were taken off products have been put on future generations in the bail
out of big money and the financial communities. It became a matter of
the old saying - you can pay me now or you can pay me later, but you
will pay.
In this bewildered new world, the Pope finally responds and it looks
like this response may be too little and too late to stop the
surge of globalization.
However, it is not too late to start practicing Jesus's practical solution in doing unto others as you would have them do to you.
