Opening with Oscar Wilde's observation that "nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing," Patel shows how our faith in prices as a way of valuing the world is misplaced. This short, timely and inspiring book reveals that we not only need to find a new economic model, but that the larger failure beneath the food, climate and economic crises is a political one.

The Value of Nothing offers a fresh and accessible way to think about the environment and economics and the choices we will all need to make in order to create a sustainable economy and society.
