Just as Thomas Piketty offered a sweeping critique and progressive reassessment of capitalism, former World Bank Group chief financial officer Bertrand Badre looks at the destructive role finance played in the global economic crisis of 2007-2008 and offers a bold prescription for making it a force for good.
Badre describes how finance can be harnessed to help us solve many of the world's biggest problems--climate change, poverty, infrastructure rebuilding, and more. As he writes, "When controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things."

湯瑪斯．皮凱提對資本主義提出全面批評與發展再評估之際，曾任世界銀行集團財務長的巴特杭・巴德黑，觀察金融於 2007~2008 年全球經濟危機中扮演的破壞性角色，大膽地提出發揮金融影響力的正向策略。
巴德黑於文內敘述如何以金融解決諸多世界面臨的嚴峻挑戰，如：氣候變遷、貧窮、基本建設重建等，一如其所言：｢若能有效監督、聰明運用、以善為本、靈活操作，金融可以成就偉業。｣
