Over the last decade, socially responsible investments (SRIs) have become paramount to both professionals and academics. In the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007-8, practitioners have become much more involved in new financial models that integrate returns and positive social and environmental impacts. The authors argue that previous irresponsible financial models are anachronistic, and propose a new relationship between stakeholder and shareholder. Starting from the mainstreaming of SRI, this book recovers the social function of banks and the innovative role of crowdfunding and venture capital models. The book offers a unified perspective for firm and funder, making it a timely and invaluable read for scholars and practitioners interested in sustainable development and social impact finance. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aFinancial services industry 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xFinance 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aFinancial Services 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aCorporate Finance 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aFinancial services industry. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xFinance. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aFinancial Services. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aCorporate Finance. 676 $a332.6 676 $a332.6 700 $aGangi$b Francesco$0290777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485006203321 996 $aThe evolution of sustainable investments and finance$91898858 997 $aUNINA
