As the title says, you NEED to go read this guy’s book if you were ever unsure about who he is as a person and if he is progressive. I started reading this yesterday and am almost a third of the way through already. The way he explains markets and economics and how they can be utilized to fight climate change and our biggest issues is fascinating.
So far I can see that this man is legit and he wants to see Canada leading the world economically and morally. We have a golden opportunity here and any fiscal conservative should see this guy as the number one guy for the job. We had our time with Trudeau laying the foundation for a lot of social justice for the next quarter century, and now Carney is here to focus more on the economy and scale it to make us a global super power. Never before have I found economics so interesting and this book of his is really opening my eyes about the history and functions of markets.
Ok, off I go to continue!
I mean, there was never a question of if I’d prefer Trump-lite, regardless of how lite exactly. Thanks for giving the TL;DR, though!
In his debates and speeches he’s seemed neither like a pushover nor overconfident. His record makes it clear he’s not stupid. Some of his policy ideas are creative and interesting. I have no further negative information, and the worst his opponents can find is that he’s been involved with for-profit businesses that weren’t even particularly ruthless. I don’t know what he’s like away from the cameras, but that’s par for the course in politics until it leaks out.
His book does a great job at explaining economics and how they work. As we look forward to expanding trade and beefing up our own infrastructure to reach other markets and expancld domestically, Carney has this exactbtype of mind to handle it while also championing progressive causes like climate change and helping turning them to profitable endeavours! Truely fascinating read and even if you could get an audiobook I highly recommend
