Abstract

Sandel argues that we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society and examines one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society, and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets do not honor and money cannot buy?

Abstract

En période troublée, le fondement de la politique consiste à décider entre la guerre et la paix, entre la mort et la vie. En période apaisée, cela consiste à décider de la création et de la distribution de l'argent. Décider des effets qu'on en escompte (la liberté individuelle ou l'aliénation du plus grand nombre) ou que l'on cherche à empêcher (la misère, des inégalités indécentes, la sécession des plus riches) ; décider de ce qui, dans la vie sociale, mérite d'être monétisé et de ce qui doit au contraire en être protégé ; décider de ce qui doit être cédé à la libre initiative de chacun et de ce qui doit en être prélevé par la puissance publique ou la pression sociale pour être ensuite redistribué suivant des modalités et des fins elles-mêmes à délibérer collectivement. Ce livre, issu des regards et des impasses croisés de l'économie et de la philosophie, cherche à montrer que l'argent est d'essence politique. Ce qui signifie au moins deux choses. D'abord qu'il n'y a pas là de vérité strictement morale ni strictement économique : il n'existe pas de bon rapport personnel à l'argent et pas davantage de science exacte de la monnaie - ni de la création monétaire, ni du juste prix, ni de sa juste répartition. Et ensuite que l'argent est avant tout politique en tant qu'il noue l'intime et le public, les pulsions et le froid calcul, les corps et les fantasmes, en bref le plus matériel et le plus abstrait. L'argent est une abstraction matérielle, un signe vide mais commun surgi du tréfonds de nos corps jouissants et qui détermine l'existence du plus grand nombre tant qu'il n'est pas pensé et pris en charge sans relâche par l'ensemble d'une communauté politique.

Abstract

Recent economic development and the financial and economic crisis require a change in our approach to business and finance. This book combines theology, economy and philosophy in order to examine in detail the idea that the functioning of a free market economy depends upon sound cultural and ethical foundations. The free market is a cultural achievement, not only an economic phenomenon subject to technical rules of trade and exchange. It is an achievement which lives by and depends upon the values and virtues shared by the majority of those who engage in economic activity. It is these values and virtues that we refer to as culture. Trust, credibility, loyalty, diligence, and entrepreneurship are the values inherent in commercial rules and law. But beyond law, there is also the need for ethical convictions and for global solidarity with developing countries. This book offers new ideas for future sustainable development and responds to an increasing need for a new sense of responsibility for the common good in societal institutions and good leadership.

Abstract

What's wrong with markets in everything? Markets today are widely recognized as the most efficient way in general to organize production and distribution in a complex economy. And with the collapse of communism and rise of globalization, it's no surprise that markets and the political theories supporting them have seen a considerable resurgence. For many, markets are an all-purpose remedy for the deadening effects of bureaucracy and state control. But what about those markets we might label noxious-markets in addictive drugs, say, or in sex, weapons, child labor, or human organs? Such markets arouse widespread discomfort and often revulsion. In Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale, philosopher Debra Satz takes a penetrating look at those commodity exchanges that strike most of us as problematic. What considerations, she asks, ought to guide the debates about such markets? What is it about a market involving prostitution or the sale of kidneys that makes it morally objectionable? How is a market in weapons or pollution different than a market in soybeans or automobiles? Are laws and social policies banning the more noxious markets necessarily the best responses to them?Satz contends that categories previously used by philosophers and economists are of limited utility in addressing such questions because they have assumed markets to be homogenous. Accordingly, she offers a broader and more nuanced view of markets-one that goes beyond the usual discussions of efficiency and distributional equality-to show how markets shape our culture, foster or thwart human development, and create and support structures of power. An accessibly written work that will engage not only philosophers but also political scientists, economists, legal scholars, and public policy experts, this book is a significant contribution to ongoing discussions about the place of markets in a democratic society.
