ROME—Pope Francis called on participants at this week's World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos to promote a “visionary and ethically sound” model of globalization.
The World Economic Forum “aims to guide and strengthen political will and mutual cooperation,” the Pope said. Said And it “offers important opportunities for multi-stakeholder engagement to explore innovative and effective ways to build a better world.”
The process of globalization now “understands the interdependence of the countries and peoples of the world” and therefore has a “fundamentally moral dimension,” the pope said.
“It is essential to promote a visionary and ethically sound model of globalization. Globalization, by its very nature, subverts the pursuit of power and individual interests, whether political or economic, to the common threads of the human family. “It needs to be subordinated to profits,” he said. .
Real development, he said, “must be global and shared by all countries and all regions of the world. Otherwise, even those areas where we have been making constant progress will regress.” .
Therefore, he declared, “Since the achievement of the common good is a goal beyond the reach of individual states, it is extremely important that intergovernmental structures are able to effectively exercise their functions of control and guidance in the economic field.” .
Always seeking multilateral and global solutions to political and economic problems, the Pope is a natural ally of the WEF, whose goals overlap substantially with his own.
