Global
Justice For All
1. Much wealth creation
is now made possible through the inventions and innovations
of people who passed on long ago. Without taking anything
from anyone, this cultural inheritance makes it possible for
each person to:
- have warmth, clean air, clean water, food, and housing.
- be respected, equal, free and able to choose their own
destiny.
- fulfill their full emotional, intellectual and spiritual
potential.
Respect
for the Earth
2. Every person must
respect the rest of creation and take responsibility for preserving
the environment including the fauna and flora, all of which
are interdependent and share a divine origin with humanity.
Abundance
and Freedom are Possible
3. The inalienable rights
of the individual include the rights of life, liberty, access
to productive property, truly free markets and equal justice
before the law. Whatever is physically possible is financially
possible
Creativity
at Work
4. There is a hierarchy
of human work: The highest form of work is improving the social
order to elevate each person in his or her freely chosen relationship
to others and to a higher power, if desired. The lowest but
most urgent form of work is for sheer personal survival.
Economic
Democracy
5. It is the duty of
democratic government to secure the results the people want
from the transparent management of their public affairs, as
far as such results do not infringe on the rights of the individual.
