PREMIO PRINCESA DE ASTURIAS DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES 2018
ĀæDeberĆamos pagar a los niƱos para que lean libros o saquen buenasĀ notas? ĀæDeberĆamos permitir que las empresas compren el derecho aĀ contaminar el medio ambiente? ĀæEs Ć©tico pagar a gente para probar nuevosĀ Ā medicamentos peligrosos o para donar sus Ć³rganos? ĀæY contratarĀ mercenarios que luchen por nosotros? ĀæO vender la ciudadanĆa a los inmigrantes que quieran pagar?
En Lo que el dinero no puede comprar, Michael J. Sandel se planteaĀ una de las mayores cuestiones Ć©ticas de nuestro tiempo: Āæhay algo maloĀ en que todo estĆ© a la venta? Si es asĆ, ĀæcĆ³mo podemos impedir que losĀ valores del mercado alcancen esferas de la sociedad donde no deben estar? ĀæCuĆ”les son los lĆmites morales del mercado? En las Ćŗltimas dĆ©cadas, los valores del mercado han expulsado a las demĆ”s normasĀ en casi todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana - medicina, educaciĆ³n,Ā gobierno, ley, arte, deporte, incluso la vida familiar y las relacionesĀ personales. Sin darnos cuenta, dice Sandel, hemos pasado de tener unaĀ economĆa de mercado a ser una sociedad de mercado. ĀæEs eso lo que queremos ser?
Si en su extraordinario libro Justicia Sandel demostrĆ³ su maestrĆaĀ a la hora de explicar con claridad y vigor las duras cuestiones moralesĀ que afrontamos en el dĆa a dĆa, en este nuevo libro provoca una discusiĆ³n esencial que en esta era dominada por el mercado necesitamos tener: cuĆ”l es el papel adecuado de los mercados en una sociedadĀ democrĆ”tica y cĆ³mo podemos proteger los bienes morales y cĆvicos que los mercados ignoran y que el dinero no puede comprar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA renowned political philosopher rethinks the role that markets and money should play in our society
Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we put a price on human life to decide how much pollution to allow? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, outsourcing inmates to for-profit prisons, auctioning admission to elite universities, or selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?
In his New York Times bestseller What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes up one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Isn't there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets?
In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society.
In Justice, an international bestseller, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our everyday lives. Now, in What Money Can't Buy, he provokes a debate that's been missing in our market-driven age: 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?
