"What do you value? Why is is that often the things we value the most - from frontline nurses to the natural environment to keeping children well fed and educated - seem of little importance to economic markets? In "Values(s)," one of the great economic thinkers of our time examines how economic value and social values became blurred, how we went from living in a market ecomomy to a market society, and how to rethink and rebuild vefore it's too late. During his time as Governor of the Bank of Canada, in which he successfully helped to lead the country out of the global financial crisis, and in the seven years spent as Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney witnessed the colapse of public trust in elites, globalisation, and technology; the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the existential threat of the growing climate emergency. Drawing on a truly international perspective to our greatest problems, this book sets out a framework for the change needed for an ecomomic and social renaissance in a post-Covid world. Embedding the values of sustainability, solidarity adn responsibility into all decision-making is integral to his argument for how we can channel the dynamism of the market to turn intractable problems into enormous opportunities. This deeply researched and forward-looking manifesto goes to the heart of what we've got wrong in the past and offers action plans to set it right for individuals, businesses, investors and governments. In short, "Value(s)" sets out how we can build a better world for all. It is a book that offers achievable solutions to rebalance the world and build a future fit for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come. This is a plan for rehumanity restored."--Jacket.
