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)

Worthwhile read, but get the e-book instead
An engaging mix of narrative and economic theory addressing all corners of ESG, with practical solutions for organisations and governments. However, I would recommend the book instead of the e-book. The information is dense, and there are no pauses between paragraphs or ideas so it tends to blur together.

Required reading for ideas on how to address climate change for benefit of all.
This book by an insider within the financial community is well laid out but sometimes hard to comprehend due to financial terms and complicated ideas so sometimes needs repressed reading to comprehend but worth the effort. Reading this begins to make sense of past financial events and makes one think about the future. A must for background into an unknown future. This gives us some hope for a better outcome.
