on Tuesday, July 21, 2015Marianne Williamson Money Quotation saying capitalistic priorities without humanistic guidance & love becomes threatening to everyone. Marianne Williamson said:
“Global capitalism unregulated by the dictates of brotherhood, justice and love is a scourge on the planet & a threat to humanity’s survival” — Marianne Williamson
Marianne Williamson is arguing that unchecked capitalism, without principles of human compassion, can endanger humanity. She believes that when profit and economic growth are the only priorities driving an economic system, without regard for how it impacts people’s well-being and society, it can have severely negative consequences.
By “brotherhood, justice and love” she means values like ensuring fair treatment of all people, economic and social justice, and caring about each other’s welfare. Unless regulated by these ethical and humanistic values, Williamson feels unrestrained capitalism could ultimately threaten our long-term survival as a species.
Global capitalism unregulated by the dictates of brotherhood, justice and love is a scourge on the planet & a threat to humanity's survival.
