The developed world is not at all the desired utopia, even as a way to overcome poverty, much less to overcome injustice. Indeed, it is a sign of what should not be and of what should not be done.

We must turn this sinful history upside down, and out of poverty we must build a civilization in which all can have life and dignity.

– Ignacio Ellacuria, SJ
