An Evening with Former World Bank Group Chief Financial Officer Bertrand Badré

Join former World Bank Group Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer Bertrand Badré as he describes how finance can be harnessed to help us solve many of the world’s biggest problems–climate change, poverty, infrastructure rebuilding, and more, based on his latest book, Can Finance Save the World? Regaining Power over Money to Serve the Common Good (with a foreword by French President Emmanuel Macron, Berrett-Koehler Publishers).
Just as Thomas Piketty offered a sweeping critique and progressive reassessment of capitalism, Bertrand Badré looks at the destructive role finance played in the global economic crisis of 2007-2008 and offers a bold prescription for making it a force for good.

The conversation will be introduced by François Delattre, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations.
