WE CAN BUILD ANOTHER WORLD!
Since 9/11 2001 many people talk at last about
some facts: globalization of economy creates
many winners, but even more victims. Environmental
katastrophes grow more and more, the difference
between rich and poor countries and people increase,
all over the world the fear of global business
competition deepens and politicians are asked,
if they have lost their political power in aid
of international companies. Indeed terror in
the world is not only based on injustice of
global economy, but it`s true, that the destructive
consequences of globalization is the medium
of terrorists.
So it is good, that there is a worldwide growing
movement, like “Attac”, which strongly
critizes the ruling development of global economy.
As important such criticising is, as important
it is to show a way out by ideas and visions.
The point is not to refuse or cancel the globalization,
but to arrange it.
Yet today there are “isles of hope”
in the north and south, which show: it is not
only possible, to globalize the power of companies,
but also social justice and an ecological behaviour
of economy. Out of it strategies can be developed,
to enable global justice and global ecology.
It`s our ambition to popularise such strategies.
If more and more people overpower their feelings
of powerlessness and more and more people confront
politicians with visions of a human global economy,
the pression will grow. And if the pression
grows, policy will move.
