Thankonomics challenges the fundamentals of business and economics by exploring the true meaning of words like value, money and quality. We try to create value, money and quality every day, spending our lives in organisations trying to increase them. But what do these words really mean?
The pages in this book will take you on an intriguing and entirely logical journey that will shake the very basis of your life assumptions and change your perspectives. It will explain a simple to use system for measuring value in real-time, exposing some of the shortcomings of the accounting and economic processes that we currently use.
Thankonomics is a radical paradigm shift that will result in an exponential, non-inflationary expansion of the economy. It will make everyone richer, happier and more fulfilled. It will also put the long-neglected not-for-profit sector on par with commercial organisations and ensure that value is accurately measured whenever and wherever it is created, not just at a point-of-sale. Thankonomics will enable the greatest shift in the global economy since the invention of the coin.
