Abstract

Today, there is much frustration with the financial sector. Society’s precious savings are not being put to the best of uses — investing for the social good. It is unnecessary to repeat at length what has gone wrong over the last few years. The situation can be summed up as one where greed met incompetence, with near fatal economic results.
