Robert Shiller says we shouldn’t condemn finance—we should reclaim it for the common good. In the painful aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, New York Times best-selling economist Shiller, author of Finance and the Good Society, is no apologist for the sins of the finance industry—but he does make a powerful case for recognizing that finance is one of the most powerful tools we have for solving our problems and increasing the general well-being.
