Annotation Thought-provoking and provocative, Slow Financeanticipates a profound change in public attitudes. It outlines how credit growth and globalisation have contributed to the excessive scale of the financial sector.Just as the Slow Food movement represents a reaction to the food industry losing sight of its ultimate purpose, Slow Financeexplores how parallel trends will soon be reflected in the investment world.At once think-piece, potted history and call-to-action, the ideas in Slow Finance is an essential read for professionals, academics, business leaders and private investors alike, as well as policy-makers seeking a more sustainable approach to investing.Praise for Slow Finance:'Before buying or selling another share, investors should read Slow Finance This well-researched and thought-provoking book is a "must read" for all serious investors, especially during these uncertain times.'Paul Marsh, Emeritus Professor of Finance, London Business School'Slow Financeraises fundamental questions over the real purpose of savings.
