About this listen
Horrified by the current financial crisis? Want to learn how we might get out of it?
This is a pivotal moment in our economy. With the markets in free-fall, financial challenges are growing for us all. A winter of inflation and spiralling energy costs looms. But it doesn’t have to be this way. As former Governor for the Bank of England Mark Carney said to the BBC: ‘The message from the financial markets is there’s a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts in this environment.’
His book is essential reading for today’s economic crisis and provides answers to your questions as well as solutions for the future.
In Value(s), Carney offers a roadmap out of this chaos and towards a better, fairer society. This moment could be an opportunity for change, for overhaul. We cannot go on as we have, something must change. Drawing on a truly international perspective, this book offers a blueprint for how we can channel the dynamism of the market to transform intractable global problems into opportunities. And in so doing build a better world for all.
Read as one of the great global thinkers of our time examines how what we value has become misaligned and how we can rethink and rebuild before it is too late.

A must listen if you want to understand the globalist perspective
From his ivory tower, Carney sets out a potted history of economics, regurgitates management seminars on ‘purpose’, and talks about his place in history. There is a chapter on humility, which was sorely lacking throughout the epic. As we head to the ‘G-0’ world he believes addressing climate change is the greatest economic opportunity of our time. I am sure he will do well out of it.

Masterclass in the big issues that matter now.
I wasn't sure whether I'd get through this but I'm glad I was drawn in more and more as it progressed. It is a remarkable & panoramic tour by an informed, involved & wise tour guide of the societal, environmental, economic & financial issues that we must grapple with and solve.

Excellent
Mark Carney has an excellent command of the English language and exceptional knowledge about economics. I liked his use of academic references to make his points. He gave a lot of value based solutions to solve future problems.

Refreshing...
....that an establishment figure of such standing & credibility talks so eloquently about the global challenges our political mainstream is too afraid to address.
only negative comment....the reading performance isn't great.

Detailed and personal view
An sobering view with a bit of uplift of a big part of our shared modern culture. Great to have a narrative to go along with recently unfurling of initiatives in the financial sector. A compelling need for urgency and pace in these matters permeates the pages of this book. Recommended.

Definitely not a failed 2nd Tier Banker
Marks insight in this book is absolutely fantastic he covers a-lot of concepts which will be discussed at the upcoming Davos 2021/22 summit finance is changing and this book will help give you an idea of how the new and coming technologies will change the way we live as well as how we derive Value in this new era.
My only point of disagreement was on Bitcoin other than that he covers a-lot of very interesting topics and discusses how things will be rapidly changing I strongly agree with him on how this industrial revolution will be bigger than the previous ones and will affect more livelihoods.

Thé range of experience and expertise
A must read for all. A re-evaluation of values and an explanation of what is important about life as opposed to what we thought was important about life

good book, useless
Giving this five stars, I think you should read this book, and tell your freinds about it, because I hope that it can get in the hands of someone who can actually put it's ideas into practice. if you're not in the one percent, this book will basically be an exercise in wishful thinking, at times it'll make you feel powerless, because it's not really written for you. but i still think you should share it. and maybe someday someone with actual power might read it
