Thankonomics challenges the fundamentals of business and economics by exploring the true meaning of words like value, money and appreciation. We try to create value, money and appreciation every day, spending our lives in organisations trying to increase them. But what do these words really mean?
"In this presentation of the concept and the book, you will be taken 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 system for measuring value in real time, exposing 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. If followed through to its logical conclusion, Thankonomics will represent the greatest shift in the global economy since the invention of the coin."
These are the words of author and founder of Thankonomics, Andrew Robshaw.
