Pope Francis in Attack on 'throwaway' culture of World Economy and Financial Inequality

Pope Francis has launched a fresh attack on economic injustice, condemning the 'throwaway culture' of globalisation and calling for new ways of thinking about poverty, welfare, employment and society.

 
In a speech to the association of Italian cooperative movements, he pointed to the 'dizzying rise in unemployment' and the problems that existing welfare systems had in meeting healthcare needs.
