Rezension: Can capitalist businesses also have explicit social purpose? Yes, argues Cohen, a successful British venture capitalist. He has launched the idea of "impact investing", which is explained in this book. The aim is to transform normal "risk-return" business into "risk-return impact" business. The aim is nothing less than to create a new type of capitalism infused with social purpose. The book deserves to be read by anybody interested in such a revolution. (FT)
