Reframing Finance

Reframing Finance argues that institutional investors (such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and foundations) should put their money more directly into projects like infrastructure, green energy, and the future of agriculture. Doing this would keep the power of financial service firms in check, while closing significant resource gaps that government cannot. Drawing on economic sociology, social network theory, economics, the authors examine the benefits and challenges associated with this approach to long-term investing, illustrated through real-world cases.
