Focusing on the distortions of a "flat finance in the short/immediate term," Benedict XVI explains that "the recent crisis shows how the financial activity is sometimes driven by self-referential logics, in the long term, regardless of the common good." According to the Pope "fighting against poverty requires a co-operation on both economic and judicial fronts that will enable the international community, and poorer countries in particular, to implement coordinated solutions to tackle the above-mentioned problems, thus creating an efficient judicial framework for the economy." "For the poor to be given the first place, sufficient room must be made by global market actors for a fair economic logic, by institutional actors for a fair political logic and for a fair sharing logic that can boost the value of the local and international civil society." In particular, the Pontiff highlights, that "civil society plays a crucial role in every development process." "Peace can be achieved only if everyone is guaranteed the chance to grow," concludes the Pope. Globalisation should be redirected towards a deep solidarity whose aim is to achieve the well-being of everyone and of all." ” ” ” “
