The Clean Money Revolution: Reinventing Power, Purpose, and Capitalism

Description

Ride the $40 trillion wave of "clean money" changing the face of investment, business, and the world for good. By 2050, $40 trillion will change hands in North America alone. From Boomers to Millennials, the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history is underway and the ramifications will remake the world. The dirty money of "business as usual" is on the brink, wedged between catastrophic climate change and the demographic tidal wave of Millennials pounding the consumer table for real change. These forces are transforming the very nature of capitalism into something different and powerful- towards a clean money revolution. Joel Solomon, pioneering clean money investor and change agent, lays it on the line. The revolution is underway, the opportunities are everywhere, and the challenges and rewards are immense. Part memoir of an inspiring thought leader's journey from presidential campaigner to budding oceanographer to multi-millionaire investor, part insider's guide to the businesses remaking the world, and part manifesto for a bright new future, The Clean Money Revolution explores this massive economic shift, and how you can ride the $40 trillion wave to create the new, ethical, and sustainable businesses that power local economies, restore ecosystems, and build social and financial equity. A must-read for investors, aspiring business leaders, and entrepreneurs looking to align values with assets and chart a unique and profitable life course. The Clean Money Revolution is underway.
