Are you giving your money purpose? In this episode I am speaking with Louise Wilson, co-founder and Managing Director of Abundance Investment. During the conversation we look at:
· What inspired Louise to create an alternative solution to traditional investment.
· How the system of finance supports and protects itself rather what is important to society as a whole, and we need to make fundamental changes to how it works.
· What Abundance does to democratise finance; through the ease of access to investing, transparency and making it simple.
· The impact of democratic investing on the investors.
· How investing ethically can support projects which move us closer to the green economy; whether run by local authorities or businesses, and the potential of this economy.
· How early thoughts about waste and experiences with money have led Louise to where she is now.
