What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

 

What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

Michael J. Sandel
Most of our political debates today are conducted in these terms - between those who favor unfettered markets and those who maintain that market choices are free only when they're made on a leveled playing field, only when the basic terms of social cooperation are fair. But neither of these positions helps us explain what's troubling about a world in which market thinking and market relationships invade every human activity. To describe what's disquieting about this condition we need the moral vocabulary of corruption and degradation, and to speak of corruption and degradation is to appeal, implicitly at least, to conceptions of the good life.

El segundo siglo de guerra se caracterizaría por un nuevo enfoque, aún más destructivo, de la cuestión palestina, en el que Estados Unidos se coordinaría estrechamente con Israel y sus nuevos amigos en las monarquías absolutas del Golfo.
