9Un extraordinario ensayo que nos muestra cuál es el papel adecuado de los mercados en una sociedad.

PREMIO PRINCESA DE ASTURIAS DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES 2018

Deberíamos pagar a los niños para que lean libros o saquen buenas notas? Deberíamos permitir que las empresas compren el derecho a contaminar el medio ambiente? Es ético pagar a gente para probar nuevos medicamentos peligrosos o para donar sus órganos? Y contratar mercenarios que luchen por nosotros? O vender la ciudadanía a los inmigrantes que quieran pagar?

En Lo que el dinero no puede comprar, Michael J. Sandel se plantea una de las mayores cuestiones éticas de nuestro tiempo: hay algo malo en que todo esté a la venta? Si es así, cómo podemos impedir que los valores del mercado alcancen esferas de la sociedad donde no deben estar? Cuáles son los límites morales del mercado? En las últimas décadas, los valores del mercado han expulsado a las demás normas en casi todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana - medicina, educación, gobierno, ley, arte, deporte, incluso la vida familiar y las relaciones personales. Sin darnos cuenta, dice Sandel, hemos pasado de tener una economía de mercado a ser una sociedad de mercado. Es eso lo que queremos ser?

Si en su extraordinario libro Justicia Sandel demostró su maestría a la hora de explicar con claridad y vigor las duras cuestiones morales que afrontamos en el día a día, en este nuevo libro provoca una discusión esencial que en esta era dominada por el mercado necesitamos tener: cuál es el papel adecuado de los mercados en una sociedad democrática y cómo podemos proteger los bienes morales y cívicos que los mercados ignoran y que el dinero no puede comprar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A 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?
