A New York University professor, Aswath Damodaran’s view on ESG.

Unhedged from the Financial Times is, to me, one of the most entertaining columns in the newspaper. Armstrong would vehemently argue against the concepts of ESG finance - regularly quoting Damodaran and his research insights. 

I've linked two Damodaran's articles here, which I would summarize and give my take on them at a later date. I believe both are good reads with valid points raised. If you noticed, Damodaran's blog style is what prompted me to adopt this similar theme.  

In both, Damodaran talks about how Russia's invasion proved to be a major misdirection by ESG factors, and how he believes the ESG movement is just not worth pursuing.
