    Quoted: Dr Gillian Marcelle on high finance with people at the centre

    Quoted | Dr Gillian Marcelle on high finance with people at the centre What if finance wasn't a machine for making a few people rich, but a tool designed, on purpose, to serve the many? Dr Gillian Marcelle has spent more than sixty years, across four continents, proving that question isn't naive. She's integrated a local credit union into a private equity fund, raised millions for clean energy across the Caribbean and Central America, and introduced the first listed telecoms company in Sub-Saharan Africa to global capital markets. In this conversation she makes the case that finance and technology are socially shaped, which means they can be shaped differently. We talk about: Why the mainstream story that pits financial returns against serving society is a choice, not a law of natureThe myth that "there is no alternative to capitalism", and who benefits from us believing itWhy the same narrow pool of Global North economists keeps getting the call, and what they consistently missThe Global Majority: how demographic shifts are set to reshape business, finance and investmentBlended finance done with intention, directing capital to where it's needed mostStanding on the shoulders of the ancestors who fought oppression and wonThe essay Dr Marcelle has also kindly written an essay expanding on the key points from our conversation, organised around the Six Questions we put to every guest. It's a piece of thinking in its own right, and well worth your time.
