Finance and the Good Society

In this insightful audiobook, New York Times best-selling economist Robert Shiller challenges the negative perception of the financial industry in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis. He argues for a redefined understanding of finance as a tool for societal enhancement, rather than merely profit-making. By highlighting the historical benefits of financial innovations like insurance and mortgages, Shiller advocates for increased financial creativity to address common societal challenges. Ultimately, he calls for a reclaiming of finance to serve the greater good, positioning it as a vital steward of society's assets.
