This is the main challenge that you have, as leaders in the business world. For the third time since he was elected to the throne of Peter, Pope Francis sent a letter of strong content to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the most important meeting of the year of the rich and powerful on the planet. In the letter, he called on the cream of global power to "open their minds and hearts to the poor", create new jobs as an unavoidable part of their service to the common good and warned about "the disturbing increase in inequality." Addressed to Professor Klaus Schwab, executive president of the World Economic Forum in Davos, an emblem of economic liberalism, the letter was read by the Ghanaian Cardinal Peter , president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, present in the charming town in the Swiss Alps. There, Francisco, famous for his criticism of the current economic system, questioned the so-called "fourth industrial revolution" underway, marked by a "growing sense of the inevitability of a drastic reduction in jobs." "Fewer opportunities for satisfactory and decent employment, combined with the reduction of social security, are causing a disturbing increase in inequality and poverty in different countries," he indicated.
There is a clear need to create new forms of business activity that, while promoting the development of advanced technologies, are also America Mobile Number List capable of using them to create decent work for all, sustain and consolidate social rights and protect the environment. "It is man who must guide technological development, without allowing himself to be dominated by it," he stated. Apart from calling on the heads of state - among them, Mauricio - to "not forget the poor", ministers and other authorities from more than one hundred countries with 1,500 magnates and executives from the most important companies in 25 sectors and industries attending the traditional annual meeting in the middle of the Alps, Francis also urged never to allow the “culture of well-being to anesthetize us,” rendering us incapable of sympathizing with the cries of others.
Crying for the misery of others does not only mean sharing their suffering, but also and above all, becoming aware that our own actions are one of the causes of injustice and inequality," he recalled. And when evoking words already said in the Bull of of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy - which began last December 8 -, he demanded not to forget the miseries of the world, "the wounds of so many brothers and sisters deprived of dignity." "May their cry become ours and together we can break the barrier of indifference that usually reigns supreme to hide hypocrisy and selfishness," he cried. «Do not be afraid to open your mind and your heart to the poor. In this way, you will be able to give free rein to your economic and technical talents, and discover the happiness of a full life, which consumerism alone cannot provide," she assured. Francisco also highlighted that in the face of the profound changes that mark this era, world leaders face the challenge of guaranteeing that the future "fourth industrial revolution", the result of robotics and scientific and technological innovations, does not lead to the destruction of the human person -replaced by a soulless machine-, or the transformation of our planet into an empty garden for the enjoyment of a select few.
