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!

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.

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.

While it can seem dry in places, I really liked learning some of the history and the values involved in policy and corporate and governmental governance. Super interesting, and oddly uplifting.

A solid follow up to Bill Gates' 'How to prevent a climate disaster'. Well read by the author.

good read

Prior to this I saw much of financial sector as self serving, and Government involvement in it as reactionary.

This book opened me to the idea of it's potential power for the public good.

I find it very encouraging to have a PM that supports and thoughtlessly understand how to get this done.

Fasinating and encourging

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.

Carney’s love letter to markets is a fascinating blend of financial history and economic theory. It’s like a crash course in macroeconomics, and Carney backs it up with an impressive list of important philosophers and thinkers. At times, it feels like a bit of name-dropping, but the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming for those not particularly interested in the nitty-gritty of macroeconomics or the inner workings of global central banking. However, if you’re keen on understanding the broader message Carney is trying to convey, it’s definitely worth the effort.

By the way, Carney has a unique speaking cadence, like B. Obama, Carney enjoys the “double pauses” in the audio. Recommend listening to the audio at 1.2 speed.
