VTV : The Book

Value through Values : OUT NOW!

Jerry Schuitema - the bestselling author of Econosense brings you a book that will forever change the way you think about wealth, business and service.The book questions the conventional understanding of all transactions and asserts that transactions - and business itself - should not primarily be premised on getting or self interest.

The book challenges the validity of the understanding of capitalism based on self interest, and what it has done to all areas of our personal and collective lives. It then reveals the axiomatic truth that as humans we are here to serve together with the empowering effect of conducting transaction from a giving perspective. The book suggests that understanding transaction from a contributory point of view will not only address all current problems facing the economic world, but will enhance abundance and contentment on a personal, company, country and global level.

The way of the future, the whisper of tomorrow," is how internationally known South African businessman, Raymond Ackerman, describes this inspirational work by Schuitema, who demystifies commerce to reveal an axiomatic truth which everyone can adopt to achieve personal abundance and contentment. In the process, Schuitema shows how the creation of true value addresses some of the most important economic issues of our time at a company, country and global level. The book has something for everyone: for the average person it shows how to unleash entrepreneurial behavior for growth; for the employee it shows how to recover true power in the workplace; for the business leader, it is a handbook that addresses the key issues of transparency, governance and sustainability; and for the accountant it details a different way of accounting that will reinforce transparency, sustainability, and common purpose and common fate between stakeholders. This in Schuitema’s flowing and easy to understand writing style.
