This volume offers a fresh approach to how we understand economic value, proposing a rigorous yet accessible framework for measuring assets, risk, and macroeconomic uncertainty in volatile global markets. Drawing from economics, accounting, and philosophy, the authors explore how traditional valuation methods often fail to capture liquidity risks, procyclical pressures, and intangible factors that shape modern finance.
Bridging theory and practice, the book guides readers through alternative tools and models for interpreting economic signals more accurately—particularly during crises and structural shifts. Case studies and historical examples highlight the consequences of flawed measurement and offer pathways toward reform.
Written for scholars, students, financial professionals, and policymakers, this work invites readers to rethink how value is created, assessed, and institutionalized in both public and private sectors. Its interdisciplinary scope and critique of dominant frameworks make it especially relevant to those interested in financial reform, economic governance, and the evolving meaning of money.
