The former Bank of England governor has created a ‘handbook for 21st century leaders, policymakers and everyone who wants to build a fair and sustainable world’ (Christine Lagarde). He joins us to share its insights.

We live in a world where we know the price of everything but the value of nothing. This is causing incalculable costs to our society and to our planet.

Drawing on his experience in the private sector and his 12 years as a G7 Governor, Mark Carney will explore how economic value and social values have become blurred, how we have moved from living in a market economy to a market society, and how we must rethink and rebuild before it’s too late.

Bringing a truly international perspective to the three major crises before us of credit, climate and Covid, Carney will set out a framework for the change needed for an economic and social renaissance in a post-Covid world.

Carney’s deeply researched, thoughtful and forward-looking manifesto goes to the heart of what we’ve got wrong in the past and offers achievable action plans to rebuild an inclusive social contact for individuals, businesses and governments and a more resilient and sustainable world for our children, grandchildren and generations to come.

Don’t miss this chance to hear a plan for humanity restored by one of the great economic thinkers of our time.
