Making Money

CHAPTER

Finance, Empire, and Ethical Dilemmas

This chapter investigates the historical ties between finance, imperialism, and the slave trade, revealing how profits were historically extracted and reinvested in the UK. It discusses the ongoing legacy of these practices, the moral implications of financial systems, and the need for greater social responsibility in modern investment. By examining structural issues within corporations and the disconnect between profitability and philanthropy, the chapter calls for a reevaluation of the economic practices that shape society.
