Can Finance Save the World?Regaining Power over Money to Serve the Common Good Just as Thomas Piketty offered a sweeping critique and progressive reassessment of capitalism, former World Bank Group chief financial officer Bertrand Badr looks at the destructive role finance played in the global economic crisis of 2007-2008 and offers a bold prescription for making it a force for good. Badr says that finance is inherently neither good nor bad. It's just a tool--the most powerful tool on earth. Used correctly, it can be at the heart of the way we address many of the world's biggest problems, ranging from climate change to the eradication of poverty to building much-needed infrastructure. He describes innovations in financial tools and approaches that are already happening around the world and looks at the role regulation can play in channeling the power of finance in a positive direction. He details options for strengthening international cooperation for financial stability and prosperity and overcoming the blinkered nationalism currently on the rise. And he tells what is working and what needs to change in financing the sustainable development of the world. This book is rich with practical examples, some developed by Badr himself. For instance, he describes how at the World Bank he devised an innovative way to use insurance, a financial tool rarely considered in international development, to buttress fragile emerging economies against natural disasters and pandemics. Initiatives like these show that, as Badr writes, "when controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things."

Badre describes how finance can be harnessed to help us solve many of the world's biggest problems--climate change, poverty, infrastructure rebuilding, and more. As he writes, "When controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things.""-- "The world is changing, but innovative answers can be found in tradition.

" Là où est votre trésor, là aussi sera votre coeur. " Dans l'Evangile, le message que Jésus adresse aux détenteurs de richesses matérielles est un avertissement contre les dangers qu'elles représentent dans la poursuite du salut. Mais c'est aussi une exhortation à la sagesse dans l'usage qui doit en être fait. Les acteurs de la finance ne peuvent rester insensibles à cet appel, qui qualifie leur vocation même, laquelle consiste à permettre le développement de la vie économique.La vocation de l'investisseur s'enracine dans la responsabilité qui est la sienne, dans un contexte marqué par le poids grandissant du secteur financier. La capacité d'investissement mobilisée ainsi peut être une source de grands bienfaits pour la vitalité de l'économie et pour le développement de l'homme et des peuples, à condition d'éviter dérives et tentations. La doctrine sociale de l'Eglise donne des points de repères pour poursuivre cet objectif.Préface de Bertrand Badré AUTEURS Ce livre est un ouvrage collectif rédigé par des membres d'Ora et Labora sous la conduite de Don Pascal-André Dumont et de Don Jean-Rémi Lanavère, prêtres de la Communauté Saint-Martin.
