What’s Wrong with Our Global System? Technocracy, Weak Multilateralism, and the Human Person

Why does today’s global system often fail to protect human dignity, promote justice, or foster true solidarity?
In this episode of Angelicum Insights, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., President of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Angelicum, examines the structural problems behind global dysfunction—from technocratic decision-making to fragile multilateral institutions.

She explores how Catholic Social Teaching offers a framework for reimagining global governance—one that puts the human person at the center, prioritizes moral responsibility over mere efficiency, and calls for institutions that truly serve the common good. Rather than abandoning international cooperation, the Church invites a renewal grounded in truth, subsidiarity, and solidarity.

This series offers short reflections on today’s questions through the lens of Scripture and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
