520    "Finance is the evil we cannot live without. It governs 
       almost every aspect of our lives and has the power to 
       liberate as well as enslave. With the world's total 
       financial assets -- valued at a staggering $300 trillion -
       - being four times larger than the combined output of all 
       the world's economies, there is, apparently, plenty to go 
       around. Yet, while proponents of finance-driven capitalism
       point to the trickle-down effect as its contribution to 
       wealth redistribution, there are still nearly a billion 
       peole across the globe existing on less than $2 a day; 14 
       percent of Americans are living below the official poverty
       line; and disparities in wealth equality everywhere have 
       reached unprecedented levels. Evidently a trickle is not 
       enough. How can this be when so much wealth abounds, and 
       when finance is supposedly chastened and reformed after 
       its latest global crisis? How, especially, can it be in an
       age when human rights are more loudly proclaimed than ever
       before? Can the financial sector be made to shoulder more 
       of the burden of spreading wealth, reducing poverty, and 
       protecting rights? And if so, what role can human rights 
       play in making it happen? In answering these questions, 
       David Kinley draws on a vast array of material from 
       bankers, economists, lawyers, and politicians, as well as 
       human rights activists, philosphers, historians, and 
       anthropologists, alongside his own experiences working the
       the field. Necessary Evil shows how finance can shed its 
       conceit, return to its role as the economy's servant not 
       its master, and regain the public trust and credibility it
       has so spectacularly lost over the past decade -- all by 
       helping human rights, not harming them." --|cPublisher's
