Revolution, evolution, progress: Finance & Space manifesto

Finance needs a revolution to respond to the existential crisis facing humanity, a shift to a path of more sustainable development and more equitable forms of scholarly interventions. To achieve this, we need a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the scope and directions of financial research. In this inaugural editorial, we focus on revolution, evolution and progress to present how Finance & Space will contribute to a vision of finance in which people and the environment matter. We propose a new definition of finance and discuss intellectual journeys that have led to the creation of this journal. These directly shape the aims and scope of the journal and its emphasis on diversity of research, relevance to policy and strategy, interdisciplinarity, engaged pluralism, and global coverage.
