Description
This book offers a human perspective on economic and organizational processes, laying the foundations for a value-based approach to the economy. It challenges instrumentalist thinking in current economies and responds to calls for alternative economic systems.
The value-based approach focuses on values and important goods such as families, homes, communities, knowledge, and art, placing economic processes in their cultural context. The book explores what it means to do the right thing, both individually and collectively, and advocates shifting the focus from quantities to qualities.
