I am reading parts of James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake and parts of Mark Carney’s Values back to back. If one thinks that Finnegan’s Wake is inaccessible, try to read Mark Carney’s Values. At least, the fabulous wordplay and punning of FW is enjoyable and makes the slogging through it worth the effort. Mark Carney’s Values, on the other hand, displays the left wing use of language that George Orwell deplored in his famous essay on Politics and the English Language. Values uses big words and technocratic gibberish to try to convey the idea that Carney and his globalist ilk should change the way the world operates in order to fight Climate Change. James Joyce has surely made fun of Carney’s way of using bureaucratise in one of his novels.
