Reframing Finance argues that institutional investors (such as pension
funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and foundations) should put
their money more directly into projects like infrastructure, green
energy, and the future of agriculture. Doing this would keep the power
of financial service firms in check, while closing significant resource
gaps that government cannot. Drawing on economic sociology, social
network theory, economics, the authors examine the benefits and
challenges associated with this approach to long-term investing,
illustrated through real-world cases.
