Overview

Throughout the world, capitalism and democracy are being challenged with great force. The world must change, but it cannot be changed by throwing money at old ideas that no longer work. There needs to be a new path to a new world where inequality is shrinking, where natural resources are regenerated, and people can benefit from shared prosperity. This is the world being created by the Impact Revolution. Pre-eminent international investor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and social finance innovator, Sir Ronald Cohen has dedicated two decades to leading the Impact Revolution to achieve real social and environmental change. As one of the founders of venture capital, which ushered in the Tech Revolution, he builds on his years of personal experience in IMPACT to deliver a compelling account of how impact investing is reshaping capitalism. Whether an aspiring young entrepreneur, an established business person, an investor, a philanthropist, or somebody in government - or are interested, as a consumer or employee, in companies doing good and doing well at the same time - IMPACT is a sure fire way to find out how to play a role in changing the world.
