In our attempt to explore possible solutions for the world’s grave environmental problems, our book titled Better economics for the Earth [1] proposes a new approach to understanding and redefining value. A good explanation is provided in Tran (2025), which informs us that the current approach to understanding value has been criticized for trying to “put a price tag on nature” without fundamentally challenging the underlying economic paradigm [2].



To further support the process of change, concerning our understanding value, we now introduce a new paper bearing in mind that “the devil’s in the details” [3].

The manuscript can be viewed as a new development of the previous publication concerning knowledge production in Learned Publishing [4].
