Recommendation
In this guide to using high finance to address the world’s ills, Georgia Levenson Keohane, executive director of the social-issues-oriented Pershing Square Foundation, comes across as both an idealist and a pragmatist. Keohane explains how financial innovators can help the world’s poor through such instruments as microfinance, microinsurance, green bonds and “vaccine bonds.” She calls for a “visible hand” that takes a middle path between government intervention and free market capitalism. getAbstract recommends Keohane’s smart, encouraging report to financial professionals and to readers interested in fresh approaches to beating poverty.
