Is There Potential for Academics in Finance to Be More Purposeful?

Alex Edmunds is a finance professor and author of the paper 'The purpose of a finance professor' He talks about why he chose to study economics rather than investment banking. Edmunds: "There might be reasons why people chose to become finance professors" If we can hold on to those things that make the profession so rewarding, i do think this is something which we can see is more purposeful."
