À propos de cet audio

National Best Seller

A bold and urgent argument by economist and former bank governor Mark Carney on the radical, foundational change that is required if we are to build an economy and society based not on market values but on human values.

Our world is full of fault lines - growing inequality in income and opportunity; systemic racism; health and economic crises from a global pandemic; mistrust of experts; the existential threat of climate change; deep threats to employment in a digital economy with robotics on the rise. These fundamental problems and others like them, argues Mark Carney, stem from a common crisis in values. Drawing on the turmoil of the past decade, Mark Carney shows how "market economies" have evolved into "market societies" where price determines the value of everything.

When we think about what we, as individuals, value most highly, we might list fairness, health, the protection of our rights, economic security from poverty, the preservation of natural diversity, resources, and beauty. The tragedy is, these things that we hold dearest are too often the casualties of our 21st century world, where they ought to be our bedrock.

In this profoundly important new book, Mark Carney offers a vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there. How we reform our infrastructure to make things better and fairer is at the heart of every chapter, with outlines of wholly new ideas that can restructure society and enshrine our human values at the core of all that we build for our children and grandchildren.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A fantastic read for anyone interested in the most pressing issues facing the world. Carney articulates the dilemmas that lie between society's values and the economic market's value. He proposes a more fruitful path for bringing them closer together, so that the challenges we face can be seen as opportunities to solve. The need for a world of profit with better purpose is explained in such a clear and persuasive style. I hope it gets read by many people. His final chapter about humility, alone, is worthy for its lovely description of the realities of the journey to apparent success." (Jim O'Neil, chair of Chatham House, former chairman, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, former commercial secretary to the Treasury)

"Value(s) is a radical book and speaks out accessibly as to how we get everyone involved in solving our problems. And this is what we need: 50 Shades of People for 50 Shades of Green. Great leadership is not a bull horn but rather, as Mark Carney shows, a set of clear instructions in a smoke-filled room." (Bono)

"An essential book for anyone interested in how to ensure a sustainable and fair future for generations to come. Mark Carney argues that we must increasingly draw on our fundamental Canadian values to ensure that markets work to bend the arc of history towards climate and social justice and a sustainable future. His ten point plan for a sustainable recovery is what the next generation needs and deserves. Carney envisions a future for Canada, coming out of the Pandemic, that builds value for all and recognizes that our economy is deeply embedded in nature, not apart from it." (Edward Burtynsky)

Professional Narrators Have Value

I found the content of this book to be rather tedious and written in a way that seemed to emphasize the intellect of the writer more than anything. In addition, the author's narration was not helpful. Many good points in content were made without emphasis and in a tone that just sort of trailed off. Whatever the content, a good professional narrator would have been a major contribution to the audio version.

With Humility

I am hopefully wiser and more knowledgeable having listened to this book. As an Environmental Professional I appreciate the level of detail presented in a clear and well laid out manner.

I understood very little, but still enjoyed

This might have gone a lot better for me if I had some background in political science and economics. So much information that felt over my head. I felt quite lost for most of it. It made for some tough listening.

There may be more information presented than was needed to make certain points or arguments, but he's an excellent speaker and seems well versed in his area of expertise.

I enjoyed most the sections where he talks more plainly about the climate disaster and presents concepts for solutions. I found it complimentary to the subjects and content found in Bill Gates "how to avoid a climate disaster."

Economy & Climate Change

Author knowledge on banking is very strong, expert. However, he has very idealistic view of Climate Change, not grounded in reality. He should stick to what he knows, banking!

Timely synthesis to reboot capitalism in service of values

This book contains a broad synthesis of topics both contemporary and historical threaded through the main stage experiences of the author. It is focused on the restoration of market dynamism in service of human values. The book covers topics including the climate emergency, COVID pandemic, and the global financial crisis. There are excellent sections on leadership and the future of learning. The whole thins is very accessible and a reader/listener could dip in at any topic that is of interest and be easily immersed almost immediately without reading what comes before. You will want to go back though to get the rich themes and context that deepens understanding. A critical book at a critical time.

What editor?

An insightful book, but the edited Massey Lectures done for CBC is a more succinct treatment of the topics here. My only criticism is that Carney gives a complete pass to government debt, and identifies the existential crisis of our day as the Climate crisis. He may be right, but it seems odd to have the former Governor of 2 national banks, however eloquent and detailed he may be, talk so much about climate change and so little on out of control debt.
Still, his discussion on values is very interesting, the book just needed an editor to cut down on all the policy and details.

Carney is a thought leader

Great content. Carney is a clear thought leader. This, along with Gates' latest on climate change, has greatly informed and influenced my professional outlook and the direction in which I plan to drive my firm.
Production value was atrocious. Sounds like it was recorded in Carney's basement with a crappy old mic (due to Covid, it probably was). Whoever is responsible for sound engineering should hang their head(s) in shame.

Future prime minister?

We’ll thought out descriptions and solutions to the problems of our time. Our country would be in good hands with Mark Carney in charge.

Values - Fabulous Read

Excellent and historical description of world economics, money, political pressures, crypto, covid, climate change and the rapid change nations, companies and individuals are now experiencing in these very challenging times.....recommended for all who are interested in the challenges and opportunities in our world given covid, climate change and the pending 4th Industrial Revolution.

A tremendous effort and very clear thinking from the former head of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England.

Highly recommend the audiobook to allow for easy listening and replaying.
