But will that role be played for good or ill? This book brings together two people who collectively draw on their forty-five years of experience in that world to argue that development banking can-and must-play a constructive role.

We only need to read the news to find public outrage at tales of short-sighted greed in the financial world. But what happens when banks invest in long-term sustainability? Readers will find a fascinating example in the journey of the Dutch development bank FMO. At times global in perspective, at other moments intimately personal, Banking for a Better World interweaves candid anecdotes with development history, as well as banking lessons with client interviews, to deliver a powerful argument for a business model that generates profit through impact, and impact through profit.

This is an important and accessible must-read for anyone involved in banking, business, policy making, and civil society as a whole. Banking for a Better World challenges us to start finding overlaps between our own lives and global issues and to bridge the distance between our personal needs and those of our planet. 606 $aEconomics, finance, business & management$2bicssc 610 $adevelopment 610 $ainternationale betrekkingen 610 $abanking 615 7$aEconomics, finance, business & management 676 $a174.4 700 $aKleiterp$b Nanno$4aut$0876129 702 $aWiersma$b Marijn 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910161646803321 996 $aBanking for a better World$91956585 997 $aUNINA
