Written 50 years ago, these words concerning investments
are relevant today more than ever before:

"Investments must be directed toward procuring
employment and sufficient income for the people both now and in the future.
Investors should always bear in mind the urgent needs of underdeveloped countries or regions.
In monetary matters they should beware of hurting the welfare of their own country or of other countries.
Care should also be taken lest economically weak countries unjustly suffer any loss from a change in the value of money"

Some years ago in China, I met a representative of a group of investors.
His job was to check Walt Disney factories in China,
to make sure workers' conditions were fair
(...should add he gave Disney a good report card...)

In recent years such concern about "where our money is going,
and how it's affecting people" is growing  (c.f. Bangladesh clothing factory tragedy)

So we now are familiar with the term "divesting"
as is this article about US Methodists consider divesting from Israeli occupation

Jesus, please move investors' hearts to care more about
how their money is affecting people around the world
