It lays the foundations for a value based approach to the economy. The key questions are: ?What is important to you or your organization?? ?What is this action or that organization good for?? The book is directed at the prevalence of instrumentalist thinking in the current economy and responds to the calls for another economy. Another economy demands another economics. The value based approach is another economics; it focuses on values and on the most important goods such as families, homes, communities, knowledge, and art. It places economic processes in their cultural context. What does it take to do the right thing, as a person, as an organization, as a society? What is the good to strive for? This book gives directions for the answers. The value based approach restores the ancient idea that quality of life and of society is what the economy is all about. It advocates shifting the focus from quantities (?how much??) to qualities (?what is important??). 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects. 676 $a174.4 676 $a330.01 700 $aKlamer$b Arjo$0120334 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219864503321 996 $aDoing the right thing$92263773 997 $aUNINA
