This book provides a robust argument for an upgrade of the financial system to enable a more sustainable approach. It explores the upcoming debate on a newly modified international financial architecture, facing serial ecological crisis and the advent of new technologies, and which operates in a multipolar world.Instead of business as usual (BAU) scenarios, it explores new, innovative, out of the box approaches in the following arenas: taxonomy and regulation, including capital flow management measures and taxations schemas; financial engineering such as hedging instruments private public partnerships; and polity frameworks e.g. IMF, World Bank, Multilateral development banks, voting quota. It addresses the new role of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the current and upcoming campaign on debt restructuring, as well as the role of new technologies - AI and Blockchain - to tackle illicit financial transactions and fraud, including predictive coding and big DATA correlations. The book focuses on the new role of monetary regulators and central bankers in providing conditioned, additional liquidity to finance, hedge and manage our global commons and to mobilize private capital at the same time, meaning that monetary policy will oversteer fiscal and credit policy in a Bretton Woods II process. The author argues that a new green Bretton Woods 2.0 will provide the agenda to transform our economy and our society, and a Green Transition plan is included in the book.This will serve as a comprehensive reader for students, scholars and activists in the fields of macroeconomics, international development policy, finance and sustainability. It will also appeal to policy makers and executives in the financial sector as well as informed monetary experts.

The monetary system is the indispensable missing link in the debate of sustainability, and whether the current financial system can handle these evolved needs.

This new culture, rooted in new technologies, not only pursues its own form of rationality but also supports advances in the original two cultures, deepening and expanding our individual and collective consciousness so that we can see more and do better.

How can we transform our society? What is the role of finance in this process? The book will provide unconventional answers to these questions. Currently finance is still driving sustainability, but it should be the other way around: Sustainability should drive finance. Finance does not follow natural laws, but resembles conventions and reflects one of the most powerful leveragers to transform our society. This book provides multiple 'out of the box' solutions for the financial and monetary sector to shift our society towards a more sustainable future. Finance is the 'missing link' in the overall transformational process we are experiencing right now globally. Cases studies, descriptive tables and graphs and a variety of additional material on 'how the monetary system works' and 'how it should work' support the idea of a new and upcoming General Theory on financing our planetary commons, on money and a sustainable development for the 21st century and provides a compelling argument for the 'cheapest of all worlds'. This is the reader for scholars in the field, for politicians who have to make decisions, for bankers, investors and regulators who work in the financial sector and for everybody who has a bank account.
