Philosophy and Finance: A Love Story

Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Finance in a Journey Toward Awareness, Interconnection, and Human Flourishing

The extractive economy is failing. The regenerative economy is being built. This is the definitive field manual for entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers ready to stop tinkering with a broken system—and start building what replaces it. When Laurie Lane-Zucker coined the term impact entrepreneur in 2011, he named an emerging movement. Fifteen years later, that movement has reached a breakthrough. The Impact Entrepreneur Breakthrough maps how to join it. Part manifesto and part operating manual, this book shows how enterprises, ownership, capital, markets, security, and culture must transform together—and provides practical tools to begin immediately. Drawing on three decades at the forefront of impact investing and regenerative economics, Lane-Zucker introduces powerful new frameworks, including the Five Pillars of Real Security, the Prevention Dividend, and Defense as a Service—reimagining protection as shared resilience rather than fortified isolation. You’ll learn to <ul><li>design enterprises that heal communities and ecosystems;&nbsp;</li><li>structure ownership so mission survives growth and succession;&nbsp;</li><li>deploy capital for long-term resilience;&nbsp;</li><li>rethink risk through prevention and collaboration;&nbsp;and</li><li>translate regenerative values into concrete strategies and decisions.</li></ul> Each chapter moves from analysis to action, with real-world applications from practitioners already building the Impact Economy. The breakthrough is happening now. The question is whether you’ll participate.

A hands-on guide to designing and scaling sustainable IT strategies for the digital age

Sustainable IT Playbook for Technology Leaders - Second Edition

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

Development and Its Discontents is a critical examination of development studies' history and what it has become, and what it might yet be. It argues that the field is increasingly differentiated along competing modes of thought, worldviews, and claims to knowledge, bringing long-running debates about the study of development back into sharp focus. Drawing on cross-disciplinary thinking on development, from the rise of classical development economics and the anti-colonial momentum of the Bandung era to contemporary decolonial critiques, the book maps the intellectual currents that have shaped development studies and the tensions and debates that now structure it. The result is a framework for recognising the field's internal pluralism and for taking interdisciplinarity more seriously, without pretending that its disagreements are merely semantic. For scholars and students, Development and Its Discontents offers a guide to the intellectual architecture of development studies, its contested boundaries, and the questions now shaping its future.

Development and its Discontents

Seit Jahren wird versprochen, die Klimakrise mit CO¿-Preisen, Effizienzsteigerungen und grünem Wachstum zu lösen. Doch während Emissionen bepreist werden, steigen sie weiter; während erneuerbare Energien ausgebaut werden, wächst der Rohstoffverbrauch. Dieses Buch nimmt diese Widersprüche ernst - und zieht Konsequenzen.

Franz Garnreiter zeigt anhand konkreter Beispiele, warum marktwirtschaftliche Klimapolitik an ihre Grenzen stößt: warum Emissionshandel die Dekarbonisierung nicht beschleunigt, warum "grünes" Wachstum neue Abhängigkeiten von Metallen und Ressourcen schafft und weshalb die Hauptlast der Klimazerstörung bei jenen landet, die am wenigsten dazu beitragen.

Der besondere Blick dieses Buches liegt auf Zeiträumen und Machtverhältnissen, die in der Klimadebatte meist ausgeblendet werden: auf 250 Jahren kapitalistischer Expansion, auf der Konzentration von Reichtum und Entscheidungsmacht und auf der systematischen Verlagerung ökologischer Kosten in den Globalen Süden. Statt abstrakter Appelle fragt das Buch konkret, welche Wirtschaftsweise innerhalb planetarer Grenzen überhaupt tragfähig ist - und was dafür grundlegend anders werden muss.

Über die Verantwortungslosigkeitkapitalistischer Gesellschaften

System Change oder Klimakollaps

The future belongs not to those who maintain the status quo, but to those who can envision and create systems that allow humanity and our planet to flourish together. This book is an invitation for you to become an evolutionary leader.As we face unprecedented polycrises-climate change, social inequality, economic instability-traditional leadership approaches are proving inadequate. This groundbreaking book challenges business leaders to transcend conventional thinking and become architects of a more sustainable, abundant future. Drawing on Buckminster Fuller's visionary framework and cutting-edge systems thinking, this book offers more than theory-it provides a practical pathway to becoming an evolutionary leader capable of addressing our most complex challenges. It presents seven transformative competencies that elevate you from problem-solver to systems transformer and actionable strategies for designing innovations that serve people, profit, and planet simultaneously.While other books merely diagnose global challenges or present utopian visions, this work bridges the critical gap between awareness and action. It is for forward-thinking executives, entrepreneurs, social innovators, policy makers, and change agents committed to creating meaningful impact and collaborate in an interconnected world.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.
