Wider Initiatives
In 2005 Michael, Z/Yen, Gresham College, the City of London Corporation and forty financial institutions launched the London Accord, the world's largest investment research cooperative into environmental, social and governance issues, publishing over 200 reports. In 2007 Michael, Gresham College, Z/Yen and a group of interested and motivated individuals launched the Long Finance initiative. The aim is to promote discussion, research and education about finance and starts with the question: "When would we know our financial system is working?" Long Finance holds numerous, mostly no cost, events for the public. Professor Mainelli delivered the AEA Technology Wolfson College Lecture at Oxford, "Financing Technology", in February 2010. Professor Mainelli was a keynote speaker at Robert J. Rubinstein's TBLI Conference Europe in November 2010. Professor Mainelli is also championing the Long Finance Confidence Accounting proposal.

Famous quotes containing the words wider and/or initiatives:
“Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
