DESCRIPTION:David Pitt-Watson\, former Chair of Hermes Focus Funds and cur
 rently Executive Fellow in Finance at London Business School\, is a leadin
 g thinker and practitioner in the field of responsible investment and busi
 ness practice.  The title of his talk is:\n\n"What they do with our money:
   What is wrong with the financial system and how to fix it"\n\nAfter the 
 2008 crisis\,  no-one can be in any doubt about the importance of the fina
 nce industry.  It is the "nervous system" of capitalism - if it fails\, so
  does the economy.  But few\, even those who want to work in the industry\
 , or who criticise it from the outside have stepped back and asked "what i
 s its purpose?" and "How well does it fulfil that role?"\n
