"[Joel is] a beloved local financial superhero, and this book is a brilliant roadmap to purposeful investing." ―Catherine Ludgate, Manager of Community Investment, Vancity By 2050, $50 trillion will change hands in North America in the largest generational wealth transfer ever. It will remake the world and be the biggest money-making opportunity in history. "Business as usual," founded on exploitation and environmental ruin, is over. Climate catastrophe, reactionary politics, and widening inequity have put the world on edge. Meanwhile innovations are shifting the economic ground, and an entire generation is pounding the table for real change. Capitalism is evolving into a force that can restore the planet, transform the global economy, and bring justice to people. Joel Solomon, impact investor and change agent, lays it on the line. The Clean Money Revolution is part memoir of an inspiring thought leader's journey from presidential campaigner to pioneering investor, part insider's guide to the businesses remaking the world, and part manifesto for a new vision of profit, power, and purpose. Meet some of the people behind this massive shift, and discover the role you can play in the $50-trillion movement toward true prosperity. A must-read for investors, wealth advisors, aspiring entrepreneurs, and all who want their values and money to work together to transform the future. The Clean Money Revolution is on. Join it! "Good helpful stuff to do with your filthy lucre." ―Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale "Joel Solomon so eloquently lights the path society needs to take in order to ensure future generations can flourish on a sustainable planet earth." ―Reverend Yearwood, President of the Hip Hop Caucus AWARDS SILVER
