Think Deep In Finance

In finance field, it is the responsibility for the professionals to make sure the clients and employers they service for have the most value return to their investment or wealth. However, I always think about something else out of this box, something that worth of us to think deeply in it.

Currently, you should have heard lot of news about the destructive non-stop cloudburst in many places in the world, as a sequent from rapidity critical global warming phenomena. As a finance student, I think and ask myself, what is the relationship between Finance and these natural (or maybe man-made) disasters?

Did Finance help to avoid this, or it is one of the factors which prick up these disasters? In common, we knew that factories, cars, cigarettes, toxic wastes, and lots more things appear and increase rapidly only in modern times, is the main reason which contribute to current earth critical condition. Well, how do these modern things acquire the capital or finance resources to get being build, manufactured and produced? Even this is my field, but as a fact, yes, I have to admit that it is finance world which contribute the capital to the existing of those modern things.

We finance people always proud that we are the one which contribute to a country’s economy and development, but how if we are also the one who contribute towards earth destruction? Is it also worth for us to proud for? Well, I did not deny that we also the one to help gather the finance resources for lots of projects which trying to save the world from the brink of destruction. But, I believe that it is only a small amount if compared to the capital flow in the industries which produce modern things as they can give big return to the investment, for finance field have a rule, great investment must be compensate with great return, thus, it is common that our main investment is always towards industries creating pollution.

Finance did have ethics, but the ethics is mainly on accountability and responsibility on the money only, but rarely a point to point at which field or industry that should be invested. Well, this is what I discussed so far in this post, there will be lots more things I am going to explore and discuss in later post, hopefully my posts on these issues will let people in this field think another way deeply.
