Over the last fifty years, globalization has transformed our world in previously unimagined ways. From the internet to an increased ease of travel to the development of life-saving medical procedures – technology has transformed our world. At the same time, increased global economic integration has been accompanied by rising disparities in wealth and poverty between and within many countries. In the midst of these complexities, first-world people need to think carefully about how we are to live and what responsibility accompanies the various forms of privilege that shape our lives. Forming relationships of solidarity across lines of difference offers an important avenue for shaping our lives in ways that witness to the need for justice in our economy and in our world.
