[GJM] Fair Trade and the global moral order

[Muhammad Mukhtar Alam]

Dear Edward,
   
  Greetings for peace,
   
  How do you see the 7 steps of Justice in Global Justice Movement.
   
  I would like to seek more force to the movement for transforming usurious finance system. GJM draws on faith based in secular arguments for getting rid of usury.
   
  In my paper posted at http://muhammad_mukhtar_alam.tigblog.org I argue for reveiwing the monotheistic framework for global unity on this and other issues. Mt paper has been also discussed in the first virtual congress on World Citizenship and Democratic Global Governance http://worldunitydays.net
   
  With warm regards
   
  Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam

  Thomas Aquinas introduced the notion of 'just price' - a term that was updated in 1922 by Rudolf Steiner when he described his 'true price' theorem. 
Prices have been described as the cardinal question of economic life - fair trade surely raises the question of how one arrives at prices: by the 
market, as most people now believe, or by some other means, but then which? Without introducing the state, or any price-fixing arrangement the matter 
of pricing surely comes down to those directly concerned and whether they perceive their own interests only, that of their trading partners also, or 
the whole of the economy as effected by every transaction. Beware those who favour a static price concept over a dynamic one!

The associative approach to economics is based on the idea that economic life is the shared responsibility of every human being. Talking Economics is 
about making this responsibility conscious and finding ways to give it effect. www.talkingeconomics.com
