# Is bitcoin compatible with ESG investing?
Bitcoin is not compatible with ESG investing.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is part of a larger global trend where investors are increasingly using non-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities in their portfolios.
Bitcoin is not compatible with ESG investing.

# Keynsian Economics
# Keynesian Economics
Keynesianism refers to a school of economic thought advanced by the British economist John Maynard Keynes in the early 20th century. In his 1936 work *The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money* outlined a set of macroeconomic theories and models of how aggregate demand which have strongly explanatory power for modelling economic output and inflation. Keynes's work together with the post-war neoclassic school, pioneered by Kenneth Arrow and others, gave rise to what is the mainline branch of modern economics that that focuses on quantitative and empirical models to explain [market](../market.md) phenomenon.
A definition feature of Keynsian thought is that in the presence of market shocks and business cycles, economies do not naturally stabilize themselves very quickly and thus require active intervention that boosts short-term demand in the economy. Keynsians argue that wages and employment are slower to respond to the needs of the market and require [central banks](../central-banks.md) and governmental intervention to smooth over economic turbulence and mitigate recessions. This school of thought largely influences the modern fiscal interventionist policies of central banks like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank in their policies in the post [Bretton Woods](../bretton-woods.md) era.

The Tinkerbell effect is an expression in psychology and finance to describe things that are thought to exist only because people believe in them. Effectively a shared collective delusion at a critical scale.
