Fair Value: Reflections on Good Business

Jozef Opdeweegh

Fair Value is unique-a book about business that serves not as a blueprint but as a reflection on our lives, and how we might live them better.

With courage to confront, and learn from, contemporary issues, Jozef Opdeweegh draws on thinkers past and present to show how our values shape the value we create. Taking us on a path of discovery, these essays address the world as we know it and offer a unique perspective on how it might be.

Founded on a long tradition of reflective wisdom, this nuanced approach is one modern readers, in our quest for sound-bite solutions, would do well to heed.
