A New Capitalism Creating a Just Economy that Works for All

American capitalism is at an inflection point. One brought on in large part by the failings of capitalism to serve all members of society. Altman’s New Capitalism dispels the myths that enrich only the wealthiest among us with evidence based on his pioneering work leading Community Reinvestment Fund, USA.

Providing a sharp diagnosis and then a roadmap to recovery, Altman’s innovative strategies for transforming the monolithic American economy aren’t based on theory but rather results from his years spent investing in ground-up community revitalization and elevating individuals with big dreams for their small businesses. Importantly, at every step, Altman shows how capitalism already has the tools and resources to fix itself and society, there just needs to be a commitment by policymakers and private enterprises to make it happen.

A true bridge-builder between the financial mainstream and CDFIs, Frank has pioneered a number of policy changes and industry norms that reduce risk and increase the attractiveness of investments for private capital.

Here’s where CRF steps up. It buys the loans. Right away, that returns money to the public or nonprofit community development agency so they can do the next loan. No waiting.

CRF’s long-term vision is to transform the system.
