Is economic justice possible with the rise in the GDP ?



             Climbing the social ladder - how about even being on the ladder ?

                                      Across the political spectrum, there is apparent consensus that not enough is being done,

that too many people from privilege continue to dominate politics, business, media etc.              



                               Besides achieving the billion and the trillion marks, it would be wise on the part of the

ruling parties to see that the rolling economic growth rate is coupled with economic justice.

                              The higher the difference in the standard of living between the lower rungs and the higher

rungs of the social ladder, the poorer the economic justice is. Unless the factors and methods of judging

economic prosperity remain defective, prosperity, cannot be an indicator of fairness and justice.


                               The point of argument is that down-trodden masses and the common people find it hard

to take their reasonable share from the national wealth. What the debate often misses is recognition that

some disadvantaged groups are often deprived of the basic needs. Hardly, does economic justice become a

thing reality. In fact, it becomes not even a succour but its harbinger. What makes matters worse, is the lack

of awareness among the major part of the world population that lives in lack of awareness as well as poverty

which binds the victims, not only to social backwardness but also to the conventional inferiority. As the world

gives survival for the fittest, there is hardly any chance for one to ensure one's rights merely by remaining at

the mercy of others. Each man needs to shed his ignorance and row himself to the zenith of justice.
