WHAT MONEY CAN BUY - MICHAEL J SANDEL KARTONIE...

From the winner of the 2025 Berggruen Prize    In What Money Can't Buy  renowned political
philosopher Michael J. Sandel rethinks the role that markets and money should play in our
society.   Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we put a price on
human life to decide how much pollution to allow? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new
drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars  outsourcing
inmates to for-profit prisons  auctioning admission to elite universities  or selling
citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?    In his New York Times bestseller What Money Can't
Buy   Michael J. Sandel takes up one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Isn't there
something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so  how can we prevent market
values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of
markets?   Over recent decades  market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every
aspect of life. Without quite realizing it  Sandel argues  we have drifted from having a market
economy to being a market society.   In Justice   an international bestseller  Sandel showed
himself to be a master at illuminating  with clarity and verve  the hard moral questions we
confront in our everyday lives. Now  in What Money Can't Buy   he provokes a debate that's been
missing in our market-driven age: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society 
and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets do not honor and money cannot
buy?
