Presentation about Impact Investing by CASE at the Fuqua Business School ... Presentations only ... no text

Burgess COMMENTARY
This is a beautiful presentation, very clear and quite comprehensive ... BUT ... I have two issues with the message or content.

(1) In the end a better world is going to be not a result of how much MONEY is being made, but how much GOOD is being done. In the end the IMPACT described here is still constrained by how much money can be made! and,

(2) the system for measuring money performance (double entry accounting) is very powerful for money profit and wealth accumulation ... but the state of measurement for IMPACT is primitive (essentially anecdotes and questionnaires) that are expensive and very difficult to validate. We need multi-dimension impact accounting or true value accounting to get to a better way of numbering for everything that is going on, and that does not simplify back to the uni-dimensional idea that money growth economics must be at the center of everything! ..........
