In this book, Mark Carney examines the shortcomings and challenges of the market over the past decade, arguing that these have led to rampant public distrust. He focuses on four major crises: the Global Financial Crisis, the Global Health Crisis, Climate Change, and the 4th Industrial Revolution. Carney proposes tangible action plans for leaders, companies, and countries to transform the value of the market back into the value of humanity. He argues that the world has moved from a market economy to a market society, where everything is valued based on its monetary price, eroding societal values such as solidarity, fairness, responsibility, and sustainability[1][3][4].
Remember when you were a little kid and the first 100 days of school was a huge landmark? Well, yesterday Carney celebrated that milestone in his Liberal party leadership — but instead of learning the alphabet and how to get along with his classmates, he cancelled the carbon tax, tried to rush two problematic bills through parliament, and reinvited the already uninvited Modi to G7. Where are this guy’s Value(s) headed?
