Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe



For me, there's a weird, unfathomable gulf — I almost wrote gulp — between the completion of a novel and its publication. Some days this duration feels interminable, as though the book has... Continue »

Synopsis:

How to Profit While You're Making a Difference

It sounds like an oxymoron: Can you really make money as a socially responsible investor? The answer is, unquestionably, yes. The way you invest can contribute not only to your bottom line but also to a just and fair society. In Socially Responsible Investing, the movement's pioneer and the name behind the Domini 400 Social Index — Amy Domini — shows you how.

By following Domini's methods for screening companies, you'll learn how to:

-- Select stocks based on social and ethical considerations.

-- Use your power as a shareholder to communicate with companies and convince them to make positive social changes — from environmental practices to human rights.

-- Invest in your community and make a difference locally.

If you had a choice, wouldn't you rather invest your money where you knew it would make a positive difference? Socially responsible investing has helped alleviate suffering, has contributed to a cleaner world, and has constructed a framework within which companies become part of the solution — all while providing market-beating returns.

Most investors operate on the concept that investing is an act without real world consequences. Nothing could be further from the truth. By following the strategies and techniques outlined in this important work, you can have it all — outstanding financial returns and a positive contribution to society.
