Summary
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
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 listening 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.
Listen 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.
Critic reviews
"A radical book that 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." (Bono)
"Mark Carney’s indispensable new book asks how we can go from knowing the price of everything to understanding its true value. From the Great Financial Crisis to climate change and the coronavirus pandemic, this is the essential handbook for 21st-century leaders, policymakers and everyone who wants to build a fair and sustainable world." (Christine Lagarde)
"A road map to a fairer and more responsible, resilient world. Carney offers trenchant insights into our relationship with money and status, imagination and responsibility critical to our world’s future. What do we invest in - profit or human potential? This book is irradiated with the inspiring and critical conviction that money can be transformed into a tool of collective good." (Antony Gormley)

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.

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

Essential reading for professionals everywhere
What can I say? A powerhouse of thought from Carney. Both grand and details focused, whilst never losing lucidity.
Those from outside the financial profession (like me) will likely find a few parts less valuable, but nevertheless the writing style won't leave you behind.
Chapters 12 "breaking the tragedy of the horizon" & 13 "values based leadership" were the cream of the crop for me, and I am left with a great clarity of thought regarding my own professional challenges.
Carney does struggle at a few points in the actual reading of the text, with word fumbles here and there, but don't let that put you off for a second.

Prophetic masterpiece
Mark Carney spots the contributions of capitalism to society, yet highlighting the challenges of current capitalism, which is drifting away from core individual, societal, and ecological values. Combining knowledge and experience, Carney helps us to critically address the economy of the 21st century while proposing 7 values with which we can change things for the better. Worth reading. I particularly enjoy it, but even if you don’t agree with him, there’s lot of food for thought in this masterpiece.

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.
