The Social Licence for Financial Markets

In this insightful audiobook, David Rouch explores the concept of "social license for financial markets," as described by Mark Carney, and its role in paving the way toward a more sustainable future. Rouch challenges the traditional view of financial markets as solely driven by self-interest, highlighting the justice-focused aspirations present in finance that can foster positive change. He emphasizes the finance sector's crucial responsibility in addressing pressing sustainability challenges, especially in the wake of crises like the 2008 financial meltdown and the COVID-19 pandemic, urging a collective movement towards greater social solidarity.
