Finance and Investment for Sustainability

Finance and Investment for Sustainability, a Berkshire Essential, explores how a green economy can be created and sustained - using sustainability in both the environmental and financial sense of the word. Articles written for the nonexpert reader cover topics such as green-collar jobs, energy and foreign investment law, public-private partnerships, the World Bank, smart growth, the financial services industry, the "base of the pyramid," (i.e., the world's poor), social enterprise, green taxes, and the concept of the triple bottom line, sometimes described as "people, planet, and profit."
