Steering Capital Toward Sustainability

Description

After spending nearly two decades as a corporate stockbroker, John Fullerton became convinced of the need to link economic power to environmental stewardship. In this program Hazel Henderson speaks with Fullerton, who went on to found the Capital Institute, about the socially-conscious investing movement. Some of the topics touched on are the relevance of a market-based economy, the political response to the late 2000's financial crises, and the success of the Bank of North Dakota, the country's only state-owned bank. Henderson also brings up the E.U.'s proposal of a financial transaction tax meant to offset the potential harm caused by volatile trading practices, and to be used for the public good.
