Introduction to: "World Without Pity" - John O'Neil
Art DeFehr was one of a small group of Canadian Business Leaders in the early 90s, who would trek to Davos each year. We became friends and I visited his furniture company in Winnepeg and discussed global strategy with his mostly Mennonite team. He was a brilliant leader and had a vast amount of experience in global business. In the attached piece, he takes on the stressors of doing business with an eye on morphing globalism while being a strong practicing Christian. This is another lens on our theme for the Good Life seminar.
World Without Pity - Art DeFer
A critique of globalization based on my analysis of the phenomenon in 1999 and relating the outcome of this process to the current populist expressions in many countries. My critique is based on the absence of morality in the new global structures and how that is reflected in economic and cultural outcomes
