This is at the heart of her book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution, Practices to Build a Better World.
And you talk about you left Rwanda in 1989 for Palo Alto to go to Stanford Business School. The Berlin Wall falls that year, the Soviet Union disintegrates, it's the end of history. I mean, you are a banker and you're remaking banking and capitalism has won.
When I say we need a moral revolution, it's really one that is not dictated from above. But it's a reframe of the system, because we have had a system that has put profit at the center. And what we need to do is shift that to put humanity and the earth at the center.
Jacqueline has described her recent book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution, as a love letter to the next generation, including young Acumen fellows around the world.

When I think back to that time, and it was really within the course of a month that the Berlin Wall fell and then Jobs got on the stage and said, technology will reshape the world. And both forces did, capitalism and technology did reshape the world and did lift a billion people out of extreme poverty. And at the same time, both forces have left us more unequal, more divided, more divisive, and facing long term, not long term, short term climate catastrophe.
So you've written this book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution.
Jacqueline has described her recent book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution, as a love letter to the next generation, including young Acumen fellows around the world.

Hard-edged hope made of patience and kindness, resilience and grit.
Investment as a means, not an end, daring to go where markets have failed and aid has fallen short. It makes capital work for us, not control us.
