Book Description
===================
Two experienced and visionary authors show how institutions and
individuals can go beyond conventional and sustainable investing to
address complex problems such as income inequality and climate change
on a deep, systemic level.

It’s time for a new way to think about investing, one that can contend
with the complex challenges we face in the 21st century.

Investment today has evolved from the basic, conventional approach of
the 1950s. Investors have since recognized the importance of
sustainable investment and have begun considering environmental and
social factors. Yet the complexity of the times forces us to recognize
and transition to a third stage of investment practice: system-level
investing.

In this paradigm-shifting book, William Burckart and Steve Lydenberg
show how system-level investors support and enhance the health and
stability of the social, financial, and environmental systems on which
they depend for long-term returns. They preserve and strengthen these
fundamental systems while still generating competitive or otherwise
acceptable performance.

This book is for those investors who believe in that transition. They
may be institutions, large or small, concerned about the long-term
stability of the environment and society. They may be individual
investors who want their children and grandchildren to inherit a just
and sustainable world. Whoever they may be, Burckart and Lydenberg
show them the what, why, and how of system-level investment in this
book: what it means to manage system-level risks and rewards, why it
is imperative to do so now, and how to integrate this new way of
thinking into their current practice.
