REVIEWS
Game changers are not looking in the rearview mirrow, focusing on ‘the old’; they look forward, anticipating and building ‘the new’. Reimagining Financial Inclusion triggers the reader’s sense of purpose, invites them to build ‘the new’ and creates a bias for action. If the pace of change outside our financial system is faster than within, it is time to rethink our relevance to society.
MARGUERITE SOETEMAN-REIJNEN, Chairman, Executive Board, Aon Holdings and Global Chief Marketing Officer, Aon Inpoint
Reimagining Financial Inclusion is a ‘must-read’ for all corporate business leaders concerned about the future of our planet. It constitutes a powerful and inspirational call to action to team up with game changing social entrepreneurs in driving financial inclusion and system change that will ensure that long-term relevance of their organizations and benefit society at large.

The Green Bubble
The fact is, we are hopelessly addicted to energy. It is the thin glue that holds our civilized world together and life without it would be unthinkable.
Per Wimmer, Owner of Wimmer Financial, Wimmer Family Office and WimmerSpace.com, is releasing his book The Green Bubble this November. The Green Bubble offers an analysis of the current financial bubble being created in the energy sector, by governments subsidizing renewable energy investment. He argues that these investments are not sustainable, and makes a case for investment in gas and, controversially, nuclear power.
Alongside the pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions, there is a challenge to find new, renewable energy sources. Many of the current ideas, Wimmer argues, are politically driven. The book also offers an engaging and intelligent analysis of the different energy issues that the world is facing, and how politics has led us in the wrong direction.

Pax Japonica
Japan, the world's third largest economy and its largest creditor nation, has been in crisis for more than two decades. Its economy has been depressed or in recession in much of that period, its banking sector in a critical state, and its public sector burdened by recurring fiscal deficits and mounting debt. Today, the hegemonic role in global trade and financial markets has been assumed by the USA and China. Yet, this book argues that a possible future Pax Japonica - one in which Japan will overcome its paralyzing debt and once again play a leading role in global finance - can become a reality. Leading international strategist Takeo Harada provides new and astounding insight into Japan's hidden role as designated controller of large - often secret - funds kept for the purpose of rescuing humankind from ultimate disasters. For this reason, Japan's role in the global economy can never be under-estimated and remains critical to its progress.
