Introduction to REAL IMPACT

Описание: Impact investment, the support of social and environmental projects with a financial return, is the trillion-dollar trend most people have never heard of. It has become a hot topic amongst people who care about social change, and it is growing exponentially: in the next decade, it is poised to eclipse traditional charitable aid by ten times. Yet for all the excitement, there is work to do to ensure it actually realizes its potential. Will impact investment empower millions of people worldwide, or will it just replicate the same failures of both charity and finance?
