Virtus is an important overview of the many challenges the world is facing and provides an economic solution to facing and meeting them." -- San Francisco Book Review Foroughizadeh's first book was defined by Kirkus Reviews: "An exploration . . . that's not for the fainthearted . . . offers a fresh perspective . . . to reflect new notions of economic value . . . how market-based economies might evolve into new forms that can sustain economic development and long-term prosperity for all. . . Forward-looking perspectives . . . thought-provoking ideas about the 21st-century global economy." -- Kirkus Reviews. This book goes beyond.

From the economies of entire countries and central banking --business sectors from banking to financial services and markets, from retail to manufacturing and services, government and nongovernment organizations are all on the verge of the most significant shift in their business models. A shift that will affect processes, revenue streams, remuneration, employment, taxation, debt, wealth, savings, defense, and delicate international balances. Very little will remain the same. An innovative, unique, and groundbreaking treatise on the imminent, and inevitable step-level evolution of the market economy and democracy towards comprehensive value generating models. Get an overview of the new economic climate, partake in creating the future, and be a step ahead of the race in the new era.
