Globalization and Social Justice. The Church Between the Desideratum of Justice and Social Equity and the Primacy of the Transfiguration/Holiness of the Person

Our study aims to assess, from the perspective of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Traditions of the Orthodox Church, the connection - so very specific to post-modernity era - between globalization and the aspirations, equally universal, for justice and social equity. In the melting pot of the new post-modern utopia, of economic, social, political as well as religious transformations, the unique doctrine of contemporary economic ultra-liberalism will aim, for final goal, at creating a new man and a new world order, involving the reference to and the assessment of social justice and social equity issues, where, for the sake of the verb “to have†, people forget the usage of “to be†. In the final part, we will point out some of the defining aspects of the position of the Orthodox Church regarding the presented issue.
