The mutterings of a worker's soul

February 9th 2011 17:15
In our journey in the lost worlds of the globalist free trader money changer, I am still in the muttering stage. I note what is wrong and wonder why religion and philosophy seem to be trailing far behind in maintaining human dignity in the workday.

The mutterings of a worker's soul . It haunts us to search for an economic philosophy

Is there an economic philosophy that remains to be found? Is our spiritual life out of sync with our work life? One survey says that 70 percent of church goers find it difficult to put the two together.

( This is where we are at today - We can confess our sins and weaknesses in a high tech way now:

Now a stock broker can make another call after closing a shady deal. A shopper at places like Walmart can do the same after knowingly buying some thing made by an impoverished worker or even by children in a destitute country. Now investors can make another call after making deals that fire alot of people instead of hiring more.

Is there an economic philosophy. If there is one, where is it? Our communities cry out for help. With production being portal these days, each time a factory is moved, a burn out community is left behind.

Most of us know that something is definitely wrong with human beings but seem to leave the question out in our daily affairs in dealing with one another for our daily bread. Do unto others as you would have them do to you is left out of the process.

In his book The Age of Turbulence, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan says in effect that Capitalism knows what is best in accomodating human nature. He puts down workers communtity efforts as being out of touch with the real world. Greenspan led the way in trying to create new money products to fill the voids created by free trade. He said the thought equity loans were a win win money product until the eocnomic crisis came.

My own journey in the global economic arena started after high school when I worked in several factories while going to college. This is when I noticed the vast void between factory floors and the deep thinkers of our times minoring in philosophy. I had some of the best Jesuits in the field and still hold them as some of the greatest men in my life but the factory shop foremen keep coming back in my mind as being even better when it comes to the real world.

I will continue the mutterings of my soul in the next post wondering why naturalism took hold of us and may have taken us down a long detour from the ideal life.
