How to decipher and better understand the complex and growing world of responsible finance - a practice that presents itself as an alternative?From 19th-century solidarity to green bonds and crowdfunding today, to socially responsible investment in the 20th century, responsible fi¬nance has sometimes been diverted from its historical values. Never¬theless, it is able to complete the panoply of financing the economy in a quest for meaning.Intended for a broad audience, from students to researchers and mana¬gers, this book demonstrates, with the help of new digital technologies, that responsible finance can reconcile economy and humanity. Structured in three parts and based on many examples, this new opus deals with all aspects of responsible finance at international level, dis¬cusses the risks and uncertainties of this economic practice, analyzes its different actors, products, tools, and markets, from research to pro¬motion and distribution.Finally, in the last part, it asks about the challenges of this practice and possibility of sustainable financing that is responsible and profitable.This book, through its theoretical and practical approaches, provides professional readers, high schools or university students, the tools and avenues to develop their behavioral, commercial, and managerial responsibilities.Foreword by Jean-Louis Bancel, Chairman, Cooperative Credit.Michel Roux, Honorary Dean, university Paris 13 Sorbonne Paris Cité, is a former Banker, author of numerous books on governance and ethical finance, and a legal advisor.
