Ultimate Price: The Value We Place on Life

byHoward Steven Friedman

Howard Steven Friedman uses Ultimate Price to investigate the Value We Place on Life through a carefully framed economic analysis. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of business & economics and political science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
