Matatizo mengi yanayowakabili watu wa dunia yana mizizi yake katika uwanja wa uchumi. Kutokana na usimamizi mbaya wa usambazaji wa rasilimali kubwa ambazo dunia inazalisha, tunaona umaskini ulioenea, njaa na ukosefu wa makazi. Sehemu kubwa ya utajiri inabaki mikononi mwa kundi dogo sana, ambalo hudumisha mamlaka yao kwa rushwa na kuwadhulumu watu.

Many of the problems faced by the world’s populations have their roots in the field of economics. As a result of mis-management of the distribution of the vast resources that the earth produces, we see widespread poverty, starvation and homelessness. Most of the wealth is retained in the hands of a tiny minority, who maintain their grip by corruption and oppression of the people.

Hii ni hali hata katika mataifa yanayojiita ‘yenye ustaarabu’ kama Uingereza na Marekani. Ushahidi wake uko wazi kwa kila mtu barabarani katika miji mikuu, ambako majengo ya kifahari yanapaa juu huku mlango wa kila jengo ukijaa watu wasio na makazi ambao hawana mahali pengine pa kulala.

This is the case even in so-called ‘civilised’ nations like Britain and the USA. The evidence is clear for all to see on the streets of inner cities where extravagant buildings tower above while their doorsteps are full of homeless people who have no other place to sleep.
