ABSTRACT
Mechanisation of agriculture and all forms of agribusiness, agrarian labour and rural employment may be gravely jeopardised. Small-scale industries and cooperatives, even tiny industries, face crisis unable to withstand competition from gargantuan globalisation. The essence of universal human happiness is distributive justice, based on sharing and caring, on human rights as everyone’s right to life in dignity free from hunger, illiteracy and denial of equal opportunity and status. In many countries of the developing world the workers and people oppose the solutions that the multinationals, big powers and their institutions wish to impose. Countries are deciding to take control of their resources to the advantage of their own people and are establishing superior social programmes as part of the non-capitalist way of development.
