City of London Alderman Mainelli Suggests Messy Times Require Optimism

Messy Times is delighted to welcome Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli in the studio for a deep dive discussion about green bonds, carbon markets and separating substance from greenwashing fluff in the capital markets. It is not every day that we get to host a former City of London Aldermanic Sheriff for a dialogue about the perils of non-financial accounting and how "stakeholders" are trying to separate investors from their money in the name of very fuzzy concepts around "justice" expressed in variable and highly subjective ways.

Join us as we kick around the sacred cows of ESG and global weather patterns, discuss why a dozen US Attorneys General are suing BlackRock for placing trendy political whims above their sole fiduciary duty to maximize client financial returns and even touch on how entire nations like Chile are either gambling irresponsibly with their citizens' wealth or are maximizing that wealth through sovereign bond market enforcement measures.

Throughout it all, let's bear in mind that times this messy require stalwart optimism to steer a course through. Let's save the pessimism for better times!

Send this to everyone you know who could use some #Enlightentainment and don't forget to subscribe! Michael will be returning, with a brand new, exciting role and more keen insights to share! You won't want to miss that!
