It is founded on millennia-old natural law philosophy, updated to cope with contemporary problems. At the heart of CHV is the ideal of human flourishing - this is achieved through pursuing the common good, via public policy, in a way that respects human dignity. To paraphrase Socrates, it is about caring for the city, rather than merely the city's possessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the product of almost a decade of research and teaching of this compelling alternate public management theory to government decision-makers in Australia and abroad. In sum, CHV is a much-needed antidote to currently popular public management approaches that have unduly prioritized the common good over dignity with catastrophic consequences for the lives of many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to readers interested in public management, public policy, and government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Drew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032759941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032759944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Joseph Drew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807153377535,"sku":"9781032759944","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6025621-16bc-45f2-b2e9-4120b6382671.jpg?v=1745378691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-human-value-as-public-joseph-drew-9781032759944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
