What Money Can't Buy

The Moral Limits of Markets
Book • 2011
In this book, Michael J. Sandel examines the increasing role of markets in various aspects of life, arguing that this trend has led to the commodification of essential goods and services, thereby corrupting moral norms.

Sandel questions whether everything should be for sale and discusses the moral limits of markets, suggesting that certain spheres of life should be protected from market forces.

He argues that the proliferation of market values has transformed us from having a market economy to being a market society, with significant moral and social consequences.
