Resident event location Seefeld
In recent years, economic power and political influence have become increasingly concentrated. At the same time, financial markets are being driven by a few trends, with increasing speculative tendencies.
What role do markets and states play in shaping economic developments? How can we ensure that financial markets serve the real economy? And what does responsible investing mean in an era of growing concentration of power—both for investors and from the perspective of sustainable asset management? Prof. Dr. Marc Chesney and Dr. André Utzinger discuss these and other important questions.
