How can we use technology and finance to improve society and the
planet? Digital for Good looks at everything from how banking plays
a role in the climate emergency through to the FinTech world using
technology to overcome issues of inequality and inclusion. The
themes of the book include questioning the purpose of banking, and
whether it is socially useful; how purpose can impact a bank's role
in the climate emergency; the way in which we can use finance to do
good for society and the planet; the latest developments in
cryptocurrencies; and more. Unlike Chris Skinner's previous books,
this is not an opinion piece but a collaborative effort that
includes interviews and chapters from leading authorities including
experts from across the world. Examples of those contributing to
the book include Adrian Gore, Group Chief Executive, Discovery Bank
(South Africa); Tom Blomfield, founder and former CEO, Monzo Bank
(UK); Gail Bradbook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion (UK); Brock
Pierce, Chair of the Bitcoin Foundation (USA); Jonathan Quin, Head
of Europe Strategy for Ant Group (China); Gottfried Liebrundtt,
former Chief Executive Office of SWIFT (Belgium); and many others
from all over the world. The aim of this book is to present an
in-the-round, global view of the state of our financial and
technological space today, and how these developments are both
impacting and improving our world. The bottom-line is: if your
business doesn't stand for something, it will fall down.
