Its author is Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners magazine. Jim, welcome. As you look back at the causes of the so-called Great Recession, what are the most important ones that you see?<\/p>\n<p><strong>REV. JIM WALLIS<\/strong>: Well, I\u2019m talking about rediscovering values on Wall Street, Main Street, and our street. We can\u2019t just look at Wall Street. We\u2019ve got to start personally, and so we talk about families and choices and local churches and what we can do in our lives, our neighborhoods, our communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: I want to get into that, but first of all, the causes. Who\u2019s to blame?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2010\/01\/post0a-wallstvalues.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Rediscovering Values&quot; by Jim Wallis\" width=\"220\" height=\"312\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10437\" \/><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: Well, I think we all have to look in the mirror here. These new maxims &#8212; greed is good, it\u2019s all about me, I want it now &#8212; we see that on Wall Street. We see these bonuses that are being announced this week are really, I think, a sin of biblical proportions, clueless about what\u2019s happening in a place like my hometown of Detroit where there\u2019s thirty percent unemployment. But also my Depression-era parents didn\u2019t spend money they didn\u2019t have for things they don\u2019t need. So I\u2019m seeing a whole reevaluation going on. Underneath this economic crisis there is a values crisis, and I\u2019m hearing a conversation, already in this first week, around the country about how we need a moral recovery to go along with the economic recovery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: And in that moral recovery, talk about some of the things that other people have talked about, as well as you, which is the huge gap between the richest and the poorest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: You\u2019re exactly right, and, indeed, I learned that the two peak moments of the great gaps were the year before the Great Depression and now the year before this Great Recession, when things get so divided it breaks social contracts and covenants, and things begin to unravel and spin out of control. We trusted the Invisible Hand, you know, of Adam Smith, the market, to make sure things turned out alright. But the Invisible Hand let go of the common good, so I\u2019m saying values like \u201cenough is enough,\u201d it&#8217;s \u201cwe\u2019re in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: So we consume less, we conserve more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: And we find each other. Don\u2019t keep up with the Joneses; make sure the Joneses are okay. That\u2019s a very different kind of conversation. So I see a new kind of \u201clet&#8217;s learn from this.\u201d A crisis gives us a chance to reset some things, so I see that happening. I\u2019m talking to community organizers, Wall Street people, pastors. We\u2019re having dialogues around the country. This is the beginning of a new conversation. You know, this is a chance to learn from our mistakes and find a moral compass for a new economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: So you want individuals and families to be more responsible about their use of money, going into debt, that kind of thing. But it\u2019s also going to take, if what you want is going to come about, it&#8217;s going to take massive change in government policy, right?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2010\/01\/post0b-wallstvalues.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10438\" \/><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: You\u2019re exactly right. Right. This is a structural crisis and a spiritual crisis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: And so how is that going to come about?<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: Well, we need new financial regulations, a real holding Wall Street accountable here. You know, [my wife] Joy and I just fired Bank of America, because they had all this money, and we gave them grace, you know, in the meltdown, and now they are extending no grace to people who are being foreclosed upon. There is more money in these bonuses, these bank bonuses, than would be needed to resolve the foreclosure crisis. So the banks say they\u2019re too big to fail, I\u2019m saying make them smaller, so a lot of people could move their money. There\u2019s even a website, moveyourmoney.info. You move your money to community banks that are serving the community, I think that\u2019s a practical thing that people can do. It empowers people. Congregations, denominations could move the Methodist $15 billion pension fund. That gets Wall Street\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: It is said that the high salaries that are paid on Wall Street, and to CEOs generally, and to a lot of performers and athletes, that these encourage people to work harder and that if you don\u2019t pay them somebody is going to go someplace else. Are you really, are you proposing then a tax on everybody, not just Wall Street, but a big tax on people who are making above a certain amount of money?<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: You know \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: A bigger tax, I should say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: At some point you cross a line, and they&#8217;ve crossed some lines here. I mean, to go from a ratio of CEO salaries to average workers of 30 to one, which is what it was thirty years ago, to now 615 to one, come on, I mean, we\u2019ve crossed some lines here, and so we have to &#8212; Joseph Schumpeter, the Austrian economist, said when you&#8217;ve got no moral framework for the market, no ethical sensibility, the market devours other sectors and finally devours itself. Gandhi said the seven deadly sins are wealth without work &#8212; two of them &#8212; and commerce without morality. So we&#8217;ve crossed some lines here. How do we come back to some of our most basic, oldest virtues here? And I\u2019m hearing conversations on Wall Street and right in my own hometown of Detroit that say, \u201cWe\u2019ve lost our way here, let\u2019s try and find it again.\u201d And I think, yeah, some structural accountability, but also some spiritual transformation at the level of our family life and time with kids and all the rest. That\u2019s what\u2019s coming out of this. I think that could be redemptive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: Jim Wallis of Sojourners magazine, many thanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLIS<\/strong>: Great to see you again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The financial crisis is a moral crisis, says religious leader Jim Wallis, and repairing the economy will require a moral reawakening. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/2010\/01\/15\/january-15-2010-wall-street-and-values\/5482\/\" class=\"more\">More <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":16898,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6569],"tags":[7244,1856,337,1321,7228,1085,7229,4694,339,6513,7245,4844,1854,7246],"class_list":["post-5482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-videocast","tag-bonuses","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-ethics-tag","tag-greed","tag-jim-wallis","tag-market","tag-morality","tag-recession","tag-recovery","tag-regulation","tag-values","tag-wall-street","tag-wealth","topics-ethics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>January 15, 2010 ~ Wall Street and Values | January 15, 2010 | Religion &amp;
