The book in question is a collaboration between an academic and a practitioner, and it tells the story of money from ancient times to the present day, highlighting the impact of mainstream finance on people and the planet. The authors argue that individuals need to take responsibility for where their money is invested and what impact those investments have. They advocate for crowdfunding as a way for people to reclaim the power of their money and invest in a fairer and greener society.
The book offers a historical and contemporary perspective on the relationship between money and power, and how the use of money has evolved over time. It also offers a practical solution for people who want to align their financial investments with their values. The authors argue that crowdfunding allows individuals to invest directly in projects and companies that reflect their values, and that this approach can be a powerful tool for positive change. The book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the role of money in society and the potential for crowdfunding to drive social and environmental progress.
