Description
with guest David Harlley of Third Way Capital.
What is the responsibility of a business? Is it solely to make a profit, as economist Milton Friedman suggested in the seventies? Or is there more nuance to how businesses can interact with society, culture, and even poverty?
In this episode, David Harlley, CEO of Third Way Capital, dives deep into the idea of “impact investing”. If you’re not familiar with that term, don’t worry! It only hit the mainstream a few years ago. David breaks the concept down into easy to digest chunks that inspire action and push us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about business. When business and investing are done properly, they can be exactly what the world needs to tackle poverty.
