In this address, Obiora Ike critiques neoliberalism, arguing that it has deepened inequality and concentrated wealth among a small global elite. He highlights rising poverty, displacement, and conflict, insisting that economic systems driven purely by profit neglect human dignity and worsen global injustice.
He advocates for a more balanced economic model rooted in human rights, social responsibility, and the common good. Drawing on Catholic social teaching, Ike calls for stronger international cooperation, ethical governance, and a social market economy that serves people, protects the vulnerable, and promotes justice worldwide.
