To answer that, and some of the most vexing questions of our age, Green takes us on a lively and erudite journey through history, looking for lessons in the work of economists and philosophers, businessmen and poets, theologians and novelists, playwrights and political scientists. An essential business book by a man who is uniquely qualified to write it, \u003ci\u003eGood Value \u003c\/i\u003eis a timely and persuasive analysis of the most pressing financial and moral questions we face.","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118480998640,"sku":"9780802197962","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802197962_p0.jpg?v=1763726750","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802197962","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
