At 50, 'Populorum Progressio' takes on new life through Pope Francis

At 50, 'Populorum Progressio' takes on new life through Pope Francis: 50th anniversary: The document raised the profile of the church's concern for people in the global south at a time when European colonialism was declining.

MGB:_Paul did not dictate how to get to developmental justice, but he and his successors tell us what is not to be done. Treating foreign workers as slaves, whether in southern China, Central America or India while closing first world factories is how not to develop the world, and that’s capitalism. Instead, to develop the world, we need to socialize the first world workplace, giving employees ownership by diverting social insurance taxes (or a portion of them) and then prompting them to give the same deal to their overseas subsidiaries and suppliers so that all workers have the same standard of living, regardless of exchange rates (which will adjust to the change). World democracy, environmental justice and the end of militarism will follow.
