“The 2016 Jesuit Task Force Report on ‘Justice in the Global Economy’: Analysis, Implications and Actions for Jesuit Business Schools” Gene Laczniak (Marquette U.) 11/7, 12:30 Harper Center 3027 (Creighton University)

This year a Jesuit report was issued on “Justice in the Global Economy”  It was meant to give direction to Christians in their economic considerations and practices.  In the introduction it explains,

Building inclusive and sustainable communities stands as a major demand of our times: communities that allow everyone to share in the wealth accumulated by generations, with special concern for the most vulnerable; communities that are committed to protect the environment. This is the challenge taken up in this document, to reflect on how current economics are affecting inclusion and sustainability and to explore ways in which economics can better respond to the needs of the poor and the environment.

Gene Laczniak has spent much of his life and work reflecting on how Jesuit and Catholic values should be applied in business, and he will be speaking to that with regard to this most recent Jesuit Task force Report.
