If there were fewer wars, less craving to enslave or exploit others, fewer national egoisms, egoisms of caste or egoisms of class, if man cared more about his neighbor and really wished to bring together for the common good of the human species the resources which, especially in our day, he and his science have at their disposal and which he employs for mutual menace and destruction, there would be fewer peoples on earth who do not have enough bread and fewer children who die or are incurably debilitated by lack of food.
–Raissa Maritain, Notes on the Lord’s Prayer, 79
