Hi

Its called "Value(s): Building a Better World for All". I can't say I'm queuing outside Waterstones (even if it were open). Some reviews

https://unherd.com/2021/03/the-davos-man-in-disguise/ 

Carney's insight: "“Leaders are different in that they have to decide. In the end, to lead is to choose… When you take decisions as leader, it will obviously help greatly if they are the right ones… People will respect a leader who has integrity and who is benevolent, but they won’t always follow them if they are not deemed to be competent.”

Awesome stuff.

I doubt there is a reference to "Raising interest rates" in the index...

The Guardian likes it: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/mar/21/values-by-mark-carney-review-call-for-a-new-kind-of-economics

Telegraph not so much: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/mark-carneys-values-moans-free-markets-brave-new-world-alternative/

He was on radio 2 today promoting his book.

In fairness Jeremy Vine confronted him a bit about house price increases being related to QE and he basically just said that the alternative was worse. His defence was pathetic.

This was while I was en route to a house viewing for an impossibly overpriced house in need of full renovation, no central heating and still with the poor old dear's pictures of her grandchildren and other general clutter in place. 

10 viewings today apparently. The agent apologised for the conveyor belt.

As a legit homeless person (living at my office) it's a tad frustrating!
