At its core, the financial system should exist to distribute resources efficiently and fairly, supporting the wider economy and society. But over time, it has drifted from this purpose—operating in ways that concentrate wealth and power while distancing itself from the real economy.

🗣️ Applications Now Open – Transforming Financial Systems

The financial system is the foundation of our economy, yet much of its operation is hidden from view. Instead of allocating resources to meet economic and social needs, it has become increasingly detached- serving itself rather than society.
