Description

The book "What Money Can't Buy" is the Sunday Times bestseller by the renowned philosopher Michael Sandel. It poses questions such as: Is it ethical to financially reward children for good performance? Is it right to pay people to donate organs? Regarding hiring mercenaries to fight our wars or outsourcing prisoners to for-profit correctional facilities? In recent decades, market values have influenced nearly every aspect of life - medicine, education, government, laws, and even family life. We have moved away from a market economy and have become a market society. In this book, Sandel wonders: Is there something wrong with a world where everything is for sale? And how can we protect the things that really matter?

Michael J. Sandel is a Professor of Political Science at Harvard University. His legendary course "Justice" is the first Harvard course to be published online and on television for free. His work has been translated into 15 languages and has been the subject of television series in countries such as the United Kingdom, the USA, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and the Middle East. He has given the Tanner Lectures at the University of Oxford and has been a visiting professor at Sorbonne in Paris. In 2010, China Newsweek named him the most influential foreign personality of the year in China. Sandel was the BBC Reith Lecturer in 2009, and his most recent book "Justice" is a significant contribution to the discussion of ethics in society.
