Enron, Arthur Andersen and the Catholic Church: are these symptoms of a more chronic problem?

Abstract

Humanity is facing some serious and troubling questions that need to be addressed and reflected on by concerned politicians, thinkers, and general public alike most urgently if we are to survive as a species. Terrorism is on the rise in an unprecedented fashion. Unimaginable crimes have been committed by church leaders. Some Muslim clerics have contributed to unprecedented fanaticism of the masses of their followers. Huge corporations such as Enron have overstated their income by millions and even billions of dollars in order to obtain easy bonuses for a few executives at the expense of their employees, their stockholders, and the general public. Politicians have abused the trust of the voters by accepting huge contributions from corrupt corporations. Humanity is in urgent need of finding solutions to some chronic and unsettling problems more than ever before.
