Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski think that anything you’re allowed to do for free, you should be able to do for money. That means things like buying and selling kidneys, children, sex, grades; even waiting in line. Are they right?

Show Notes and Further Reading
Brennan and Jaworski’s book is Markets without Limits: Moral Virtues and Commercial Interests (2015).
Markets without Limits is partially a response to this book, What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets (2013) by Michael J. Sandel.
One of our very first Free Thoughts podcast episodes was with James Stacey Taylor on this very same topic.
