Wicked valuations: people and landed property

Traditional valuation approaches are increasingly recognised as being insufficient to address the wicked valuation problems of the diverse peoples and groups that inhabit the globe from north, south, east to west.

This book demonstrates the limitations of science and, in particular economics, as the foundation on which valuations are traditionally based.

It demonstrates the importance of and provides justification for the personal, cultural values and norms which underpin our assessment of 'value', and the fact that these vary across the world.

Here, Michael McDermott develops a means of engaging with highly complex valuation problems.
