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

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?
