Jeffrey Sachs and Joseph Kaboski resonating with the Pope in this excellent Podcast by Freakonomics Radio…about the globalization of indifference….but also about the importance of the market:But on the other hand, we’ve never seen an example of any country that has escaped extreme poverty because of foreign aid or NGOs.…
Jeffrey Sachs:
SACHS: First let me say I am a believer in a market economy … and I would imagine Pope Francis, too, is a believer in a market economy, but what the Church has taught … is the idea that an economy needs a moral framework. This is a very, very basic idea that we have mostly discarded but that I believe in.
