In Episode 134 of Ill Literacy, Tim Benson talks with Paul H. Tice, author of The Race to Zero: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System.
 
Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Paul H. Tice, retired Wall-Streeter and adjunct professor of finance at New York University’s Stern School of Business, to discuss his new book, The Race to Zero: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System. They chat about why ESG and “sustainable investing” has swept across Wall Street, why it has received so little pushback so far, and what the consequences of this new scheme will mean for the global financial system. They also discuss what can be done to push back on this attempted ESG orthodoxy.
