Values Building a Better World for All [electronic resource] : by Carney, Mark.aut; CloudLibrary;
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Winner of the 2021 National Business Book Award • Shortlisted for the 2021 Donner Prize A bold and urgent argument by the Prime Minister of Canada and former bank governor on the radical, foundational change that is required if we are to build an economy and society based not on market values but on human values. Our world is full of fault lines—growing inequality in income and opportunity; systemic racism; health and economic crises from a global pandemic; mistrust of experts; the existential threat of climate change; deep threats to employment in a digital economy with robotics on the rise. These fundamental problems and others like them, argues Mark Carney, stem from a common crisis in values. Drawing on the turmoil of the past decade, Mark Carney shows how “market economies” have evolved into “market societies” where price determines the value of everything.  When we think about what we, as individuals, value most highly, we might list fairness, health, the protection of our rights, economic security from poverty, the preservation of natural diversity, resources, and beauty. The tragedy is, these things that we hold dearest are too often the casualties of our twenty-first century world, where they ought to be our bedrock.  In this profoundly important new book, Mark Carney offers a vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there. How we reform our infrastructure to make things better and fairer is at the heart of every chapter, with outlines of wholly new ideas that can restructure society and enshrine our human values at the core of all that we build for our children and grandchildren.

Last act : closing the book on your finances / by Short, Kimberley,author.; Short, Larry(Accountant),author.; Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada,issuing body.;
"Many people of all ages procrastinate when it comes to writing their wills, and organizing things, complicating the process of settling their estate for their children, loved ones, and beneficiaries. The Last Act is the book that addresses this situation, as it provides easy-to-follow steps to make the process as easy and as seamless as possible. Trust and Estate Planner Kimberley Short and Accountant Larry Short combine their years of knowledge and experience to explain how to write a will, settle an estate, create a trust, and more while helping to cut costs and unforeseen expenses along the way. Their experience, working with families, allows them to provide wisdom on diffusing potential conflicts. Grieving a parent or loved one is difficult enough without the additional burden of complications that result from a lack of pre-planning."--
