Will Finance Save the World?

Just as Thomas Piketty offered a harsh critique and a progressive assessment of capitalism, former Chief Financial Officer of the World Bank Group Bertrand Badré demonstrates the destructive role of finance in the global economic crisis of 2007-2008 and proposes a bold recipe for turning it to good.
Badré explains how finance can help solve many of the world's most pressing issues - climate change, poverty, infrastructure rebuilding, and much more. As he writes: "If used wisely, with humanity, resourcefulness, and inventiveness, finance can achieve great things".
