Economic justice

The Friend reports on a YMG session about economic justice

by The Friend 12th August 2011

British Quakers have committed themselves to a statement describing the world’s economic system as unjust. The description appeared in a minute of Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) last week.  ‘The global economic system is posited on continued economic growth and, in its pursuit of growth, it is often violent, unjust and destructive,’ states the minute. It adds, ‘We need to ask the question whether the system is so broken that we urgently need to work with others to put in place a different system’.
