Investing ethics and shareholder action

Episode notes

This week Allan reviews a controversial book from last year, shares an article about changes to the way we hold shares, and discusses a podcast on investor engagement.

Allan’s thought for the week

Don’t waste time watching shares merely because you’ve fallen in love with them.

Book of the week

This week’s book is
Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams

The audio version is superbly narrated by the author, but I’m sure the print edition is good too.
