The Notion of Development: As Seen From Caritas in Veritate - Notes For Chapter 1 and 2

Development cannot rely solely on technology or institutions, and requires addressing issues like exploitation of resources, corruption, worker's rights, and promoting a culture that respects life. Integral human development faces challenges like economic crisis, mass migration, religious fanaticism and practical atheism.
