As a response to ongoing economic, social and environmental crises,
many private actors have enlarged their definition of 'value' to
include environmental and social elements. Such practices, however,
appear incompatible with the current epistemological structure of
academic financial discourse. This paradox challenges us to
reconsider the foundations of modern finance, particularly the
dominant role of shareholders. The volume argues there is a need to
turn the established order upside down. Studies in economics and
finance have to be embedded in environmental and social welfare to
answer the challenges we face, and there is a need for a radical
break with the methodological individualism that dominates
economics, management and (especially) finance. It is our
responsibility to question social welfare when it is defined only
as maximising shareholder value. Should we instead promote a
substitute to the shareholder? How should we (re)define the concept
of value? This volume serves as a stepping stone for rethinking
academic finance, and attempts to carve out innovative paths for
financial research in the 21st century.
