I have a new admiration for Stephen Green of HSBC. Stephen Green, chairman of HSBC makes a good argument in his new book about banking: Good Value: Reflections on Money, Morality and an Uncertain World. Green is also an ordained priest in the Church of England. In his book, he proposes a “new capitalism” that brings good business and good ethics together. He says moral and spiritual values should take precedence over immediate profit.
