A renowned political philosopher 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?
In 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?
作者似乎是在提出某种警告还是提醒,或许也是让你自己去思考。不论有钱人还是没钱人,都需要考虑钱可以买到什么。 但是正如作者所说,如果什么东西都是可以用钱来买到的,公理何在? 如果真是从市场经济走到市场社会,人类也就没戏了。

评分这本书讲的是市场扩张到了原本不该进入的领域,以至于很多具体或抽象的东西都可以用钱买到。于是作者从不同的角度分析了这种现象的深层意义。 作者对于这种现象基本是持否定的态度。原因在于两点:一是违背了公平原则,一是违背了道义。作者叹息人心不古的同时也表达...

作者是哈佛大学讲公平正义的那位。道理很好,稍嫌琐碎。居然提到北京的医院号贩子。笔记:我们要市场经济,不要市场社会。

评分虽然我对经济学没什么研究,但我还是同意黄仁宇教授说的能先用法律和技术解决的问题就不要先扯到道德问题上。第一本正经的英文原版书,感觉还可以。
评分A book for mass reading only. His main point seems that the measuring rod of money should not be extended into public goods of non-market value -it's an old argument. He illustrates this idea with lots of vivid examples, but he seems lost in examples, and I did not see much systematic & novel enough to strike me at the first skim.
