Market thinking today enjoys unquestioned authority, because it is its mechanisms that lead to wealth and prosperity for entire countries. Michael Sandel talks about how the commercial approach, touching things previously inaccessible to it, often destroys the primary meaning and essence of many concepts and phenomena. Thus, contract service in the army and the purchase of citizenship rights destroy the meaning of the concept of “citizenship”; the purchase of the right to skip the line to see a doctor infringes on the equality of citizens in rights; the sale of the right to name a metro station or stadium violates the traditions of a memorable name, spiritual and national unity. The book shows the other side of decisions that, at first glance, have economic and sometimes social benefits. The author encourages us to think: do we want a life in which fewer and fewer things cannot be bought with money, since the question of moral restrictions for the market is the question of what kind of world we all want to live in next.
