How to Make Finance a Force for Good
Just as Thomas Piketty offered a sweeping critique and progressive reassessment of capitalism, former World Bank Group chief financial officer Bertrand Badré looks at the destructive role finance played in the global economic crisis of 2007-2008 and offers a bold prescription for making it a force for good. Badré describes how finance can be harnessed to help us solve many of the world's biggest problems--climate change, poverty, infrastructure rebuilding, and more. As he writes, "When controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things."

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. How to Make Finance a Force for Good"A hugely important book with a compelling vision for ethical global finance that makes current political debates seem petty and thoughtless." (Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary)According to Bertrand Badre, finance is neither inherently good nor bad. It's just a tool-the most powerful tool on earth. In Can Finance Save the World?, he describes innovative approaches and financial tools that can help us address many of the world's biggest problems, ranging from climate change to the eradication of poverty to building much-needed infrastructure. Badre details options for creating positive financial regulation and for strengthening international cooperation. He also explains what is working and what needs to change in financing the sustainable development of the world.This book is rich with practical examples, some developed by Badre himself. For instance, he describes how at the World Bank he devised an innovative way to use insurance, a financial tool rarely considered in international development, to buttress fragile emerging economies against natural disasters and pandemics. Initiatives like these show that, as Badre writes, "when controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things."
