What is social justice and equity in the global economy? Moreover, what constitutes fair working conditions? These are questions that really impact us as consumers.

 

In this episode, I interview Anna Rohwer, a fellow alum of Eastern University, about social justice in the global economy and the economic perspective of social responsibility in the marketplace. Anna has a passion for the less privileged and studied globalization and development at the University of Manchester. Thus, she uses her knowledge of global labor conditions to make conscientious choices as a consumer.

 

We touch on:

-Anna’s background in global supply chains and view on social justice

-The role of morality in economics

-How the Gospel impacts every area of life

-People have cognitive dissonance because they believe one way and act another

-Pairing an economic system with the Gospel

-How morals are integral to economics, but that no economic system will be perfect with imperfect people

-Global labor standards and accountability for multinational corporations

-How economic development organically improves labor standards

-How society needs heart change much more than legal change
