Brave New Capital: The Launch
Most of finance runs on defaults. Who owns the value. Who gets a say. How a fund is built. What the people running it get paid for. We rarely stop to ask whether any of it was a choice.
Brave New Capital: Shifting Power, Sharing Ownership, Rewriting the Rules of Finance is about the people who did ask. Erinch Sahan and I spent time with fund managers around the world who redesigned their funds so that workers, communities and the living world share in the value they create. Every story is a real design that others can learn from and borrow.
On 2 December we are launching the book, and we would love you to be there.
What to expect
A conversation about why we wrote the book and what the people in it taught us.
A few of the protagonists in the room, telling the story behind their chapters in their own words.
Time to meet others who care about how capital is used.
Copies of the book to buy on the night.
Who it’s for
Anyone with capital and a stake in how it is used. That includes fund managers, pension funds, foundations, family offices, founders, community leaders, policymakers and students.
