Future Capital: Financing Global Development
The World Bank, Washington D.C. – September 16-17, 2019
The world possesses all the financial resources needed to meet humanity’s material needs and foster wellbeing. Money is a unique human invention, a networking device to extend mutually beneficial human relationships in space and time, and a powerful instrument for promoting sustainable development and wellbeing. But the global monetary and financial system misconstrues its fundamental purpose and role in society and is underperforming and misperforming its intended role. A new financial paradigm is needed based on a fundamental change in consciousness and values.
