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)

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!

Economy & Climate Change

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.

Definitely was Trudeau’s advisor if elected we will continue down the same path as before.

This important book is jam packed with information, disseminated in a straightforward manner. I listened to each chapter twice, as it is dense material and deserves full attention. Bravo!

A Recommended Read for Every Canadian

Well, I immediately picked up this book when Mark Carney became the Prime Minister of Canada this 2025. I wanted to know more about how this Prime Minister thinks and especially about the economic background that he comes from. So I do not have a huge background in economics nor politics. However, I have an empathic ability and can deem worth, or lack thereof from listening, and yes, perhaps learning a little on the matter. The underlying tenet of the book stresses value of humanity over the material worth of something. This to me was an important point of the book, despite all the technicalities. At this point, I am very happy that Mark Kearney is Prime Minister of Canada and I am confident that his wisdom as well as his expertise in economics will have a prominent and most significant impact on the world stage.

There’s some pretty complex things discussed. I feel like the audiobook made it easier to take it in. Definitely a sensible manifesto that respects fact-based reasoning and shows a well grounded understanding of human tendencies. The narrator was excellent

I bought this during the recent Canadian election because a few friends told me that Carney's book was a scary globalist treatise. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually shares many of the concerns of my conservative friends, but unlike them he thinks the government has a role to play in addressing those concerns. The economic material was a little over my head but as someone with degrees in political studies and ministry leadership I tracked well enough to see the wisdom in what was being offered here, well before Carney ran for Prime Minister. It's a shame that he read the book for this recording, though - the bland tone and stumbling over words make this a little hard to recommend in this format! Hopefully it gets re-recorded as his public profile rises to another level!

Very thought provoking, but should have been read by a professional

Canada is in excellent hands. Mark Carnwy is brilliant. the chapter on leadership and the last chaper on where to go from here were the best. . i did doze off a little in the more financially descriptive sections but overall i felt engaged and learned a lot! thank you Prime Minister for writing this book.

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.

I listened to this to get a feel for the man hoping to be prime minister. He is very educated and experienced but I did not get a feeling of connection to Canada’s actual values. More the WEF and elites and his domineering plan for our country. I do hope others listen to understand HIS values for our country. We the people owe it to ourselves to know who we are voting for. Good luck! And may the odds be ever in our favor. This was the driest read and I did suffer through it…don’t know if I retained much though to be honest.
