书籍简介：

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?

书友短评：

@ Creative 在中国青年报读到介绍。 @ 烫干丝 看完才知道＂没有买不到，只有想不到＂(btw,这是正面评价)。另外，作者的论述翻来覆去就那么两三个，大半篇幅都在举例〜 @ 徐栖 基本上是现象的罗列和反复强调经济学的道德界限。指出经济学在社会各个领域的过度渗透确实有意义，但书里的东西在 the Atlantic 上写篇8000字的文章其实也就可以说清楚了。 @ Heather的冬天 和《Justice》一样好看。通过一个个案例来让读者思考：你是想要一个market economy还是甘愿生活在market society里？ @ 装睡的人 段子与剪报集 @ copyist 作者对中国的医院挂号黄牛还挺了解。
