Yet critical geographers have largely studied "green" and "social" finance separately. We propose, instead, a holistic geography of impact investing that highlights the common methods used in attempts to offset destructive investments with purportedly reparative ones. This involves interrogating how elite"?led ideas of social and environmental progress are reflected in investments, as well as deconstructing the "objects" of impact investments. As examples, we use insights from both "green" and "social" literatures to analyse the social values embedded in projects of financialisation in schooling and affordable housing in the US.
