Most Americans believe that their irresponsible actions and complex financial products wrecked the economy and destroyed people's savings, and that bankers never adequately paid for their crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut as \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e journalist Andrew Palmer argues in \u003ci\u003eSmart Money\u003c\/i\u003e, this much maligned industry is not only capable of doing great good for society, but offers the most powerful means we have for solving some of our most intractable social problems. From Babylon to the present, the history of finance has always been one of powerful innovation. Now a new generation of financial entrepreneurs is working to revive this tradition of useful innovation, and Palmer shows why we need their ideas today more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraveling to the centres of finance across the world, Palmer introduces us to peer-to-peer lenders who are financing entrepreneurs the big banks won't bet on, creating opportunities where none existed. He explores the world of social-impact bonds, which fund programs for the impoverished and homeless, simultaneously easing the burden on national governments and producing better results. And he explores the idea of human-capital contracts, whereby investors fund the educations of cash-strapped young people in return for a percentage of their future earnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this far-ranging tour of the extraordinarily creative financial ideas of today and of the future, \u003ci\u003eSmart Money\u003c\/i\u003e offers an inspiring look at the new era of financial innovation that promises to benefit us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481715036396,"sku":"9780465064724","price":132.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15583373482353.jpg?v=1748213546"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/andrew-palmer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
