[I]A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules,”[/I] [I][I]The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits",[/I] the pope’s document says.[/I] [I]He goes on to explain that in this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which has become the only rule we live by.[/I] too bad he makes no mention of worker controlled jobs.
