From Caritas in Veritate ..
The dignity of the individual and the demands of justice require that, especially today, economic choices do not increase excessively and morally unacceptable disparities in wealth [ 83] and that we continue to pursue what prioritize the goal of access to employment or its continuation for all . So clearly, this is also required by the "economic logic". The systemic increase in inequality between social groups within a single country and between populations of different countries, namely the increase massive poverty in a relative sense, not only tends to erode social cohesion, and in this way undermines democracy, but also has a negative economic impact, with the gradual erosion of "social capital", meaning those ' set of relations of trust, reliability, compliance, essential to every civil society.
Economic science is telling us that structural insecurity generates anti-productive attitudes and waste of human resources, as the workers tend to adapt passively to automatic mechanisms, rather than to release creativity. On this point there is a convergence between science economic and moral evaluation. The human costs are even more economic costs and economic dysfunctions always involve human costs.
should be remembered that the reduction of cultures to the technological dimension, if it favors short-term profits in the long run hampers the dynamics of cooperation and mutual enrichment. It is important to distinguish between economic and sociological short-and long-term . Lowering the level of protection of workers' rights or the waiver of income redistribution mechanisms to increase the country's international competitiveness, hinder the achievement development of a long-term. Must then carefully evaluate the human consequences of the current trends towards a quick, sometimes very short term. This requires a new and deeper reflection on the economy and its purposes [ 84], and a profound and far-reaching review of the development model, to correct the malfunctions and distortions. It requires, in fact, the state of ecological health of the planet requires above all the cultural and moral crisis, whose symptoms have long been evident in every part of the world.
