A 2020 book which has six chapters, each of which offers an assessment of proposals to reform the financial system. Every chapter starts with a table that briefly summarizes the proposals that will be discussed, their proponents or examples of where they are being implemented, their potential impact, achievability and any associated drawbacks. Six core recommendations (one per chapter) emerge as priorities, but these are not the only proposals that merit being taken forward. Indeed, all of the measures discussed herein could contribute to building a financial system that would be part of the solution to climate chaos, rather than part of the problem. Uprooting the monoculture of financial capitalism and replacing it with a balanced financial ecosystem that sticks to planetary boundaries and respects social justice requires far more than uprooting a single tree.
