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?
