Description: Green retraces the history of the global economy and its financial systems and argues that despite its recent lapses, the financial industry is more necessary than ever if business-people will look to their principles before their profit margins. By recognizing the precedence of moral and spiritual values over immediate profit, Green says, we have the opportunity to remake capitalism while also helping the less fortunate and finding meaning in our own lives.
