About this book
Reviews
—Caroline Lucas, Green Party MP
“For too long ‘the economy’ and ‘the finance’ flowing through it have proceeded as if their own self-defined laws are immutable and detached from people and the planet we inhabit. Molly Scott Cato has been at the forefront of the sustainable finance agenda and has written a must-read primer for anyone interested in understanding how to align the financial system with climate objectives. With authentic experience of the ‘cut and thrust of political negotiations’, Molly not only offers first-hand perspective on why progress on this vital agenda has been slow but offers compelling proposals for what to do about it.”
—Frank van Lerven, Senior Economist, New Economics Foundation
