What to expect
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘A radical book that speaks out accessibly’ BONO
‘Indispensable … This is the essential handbook’ CHRISTINE LAGARDE
‘A remarkably good read’ GILLIAN TETT, Financial Times
‘A landmark achievement’ WILL HUTTON, Observer
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 reading 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.
Read 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.
