Description
Value(s) (2021) examines how we’ve allowed economic value and social values to become fatally blurred, transforming from a market economy into a market society where essential workers and environmental protection are systematically undervalued while financial speculation is rewarded. It demonstrates how embedding sustainability, solidarity, and responsibility into all decision-making can channel market dynamism to turn society’s greatest challenges into opportunities.
