What do you value? The things we cherish, from frontline nurses to the environment, often seem undervalued by economic markets. In this insightful work, a leading economic thinker explores the blurring of economic and social values, highlighting our shift from a market economy to a market society. Drawing from his experiences as a G7 central banker and Governor of the Bank of England, the author reflects on the erosion of public trust in elites, globalization, and technology, as well as the challenges posed by the 4th Industrial Revolution and the climate crisis. With a global perspective on pressing issues, the book presents a framework for necessary change in a post-Covid world. It emphasizes embedding sustainability, solidarity, and responsibility into decision-making processes, advocating for harnessing market dynamism to transform complex challenges into significant opportunities. This well-researched and forward-looking manifesto addresses past mistakes while offering actionable plans for individuals, businesses, investors, and governments. Ultimately, it outlines a vision for creating a better world, providing achievable solutions to global problems and paving the way for a sustainable future for generations to come. This is a call for humanity's restoration.
