Summary
We discussed in the chapter on social wealth how finance can contribute to the common good. Finance fulfills a critical role in our economy, whether by facilitating savings for retirement, enabling seamless payments for the purchase of goods and services, or offering insurance against the financial risk of an early death, to name a few of its basic services. By and large, the primary purpose of finance is to help customers achieve their goals.
