¿Cómo impedir que los valores del mercado se impongan allí donde no corresponden? ¿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 las 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?

This second handbook offers all new content in which readers will find a thoughtful and measured interrogation of significant contemporary thinking and practice in urban education. Each chapter reflects contemporary cutting-edge issues in urban education as defined by their local context. One important theme that runs throughout this handbook is how urban is defined, and under what conditions the marginalized are served by the schools they attend. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of nations. This second handbook focuses on factors such as social stratification, segmentation, segregation, racialization, urbanization, class formation and maintenance, and patriarchy. The central concern is to explore how equity plays out for those traditionally marginalized in urban schools in different locations around the globe. Researchers will find an analysis framework that will make the current practice and outcomes of urban education, and their alternatives, more transparent, and in turn this will lead to solutions that can help improve the life-options for students historically underserved by urban schools.

In this book, Michael Sandel takes up some of the hotly contested moral and political issues of our time, including affirmative action, assisted suicide, abortion, gay rights, stem cell research, the meaning of toleration and civility, the gap between rich and poor, the role of markets, and the place of religion in public life. He argues that the most prominent ideals in our political life--individual rights and freedom of choice--do not by themselves provide an adequate ethic for a democratic society. Sandel calls for a politics that gives greater emphasis to citizenship, community, and civic virtue, and that grapples more directly with questions of the good life. Liberals often worry that inviting moral and religious argument into the public sphere runs the risk of intolerance and coercion. These essays respond to that concern by showing that substantive moral discourse is not at odds with progressive public purposes, and that a pluralist society need not shrink from engaging the moral and religious convictions that its citizens bring to public life.

While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students.

Existe un amplio consenso según el cual los mercados son la forma más eficiente de organizar la producción y la distribución de bienes en economías complejas, el remedio mágico para todos los males de la burocracia y el control estatal. Sin embargo, a muchos les resulta inadmisible que el criterio de la oferta y la demanda se aplique por igual tanto al comercio de automóviles o indumentaria como al trabajo infantil, los órganos humanos, los servicios reproductivos, el sexo, las armas o las drogas adictivas. Ciertos mercados parecen atentar contra valores humanos fundamentales. Debra Satz, una de las voces más originales de la filosofía política contemporánea, sostiene que hay razones para limitar el ámbito de las cosas que el dinero puede comprar y explica cómo deberían responder las políticas sociales ante este tema. Discrepando con los enfoques puramente económicos, que ponen en primer lugar la eficiencia como rasgo inherente a todos los mercados, y también con los enfoques igualitaristas, que proponen actuar no sobre los mercados sino sobre las inequidades de origen y la redistribución de la riqueza, Satz presenta su teoría acerca del carácter pernicioso de ciertos mercados, capaces de malograr capacidades humanas o de fomentar la existencia de relaciones jerárquicas objetables, de sumisión o de esclavitud, entre las personas. Los mercados de los servicios de salud, de educación o de trabajo tienen efectos sobre quiénes somos, qué podemos hacer y qué tipo de sociedad podemos alcanzar. Frente a esto, discute las potenciales medidas de intervención, desde la prohibición hasta la modificación de los derechos de propiedad o la política distributiva, analiza controversias actuales como las referidas a la prostitución o el tráfico de órganos y ofrece criterios para pensar con mayores matices la compleja relación entre mercados e igualdad social.

The Object of the Atlantic is a wide-ranging study of the transition from a concern with sovereignty to a concern with things in Iberian Atlantic literature and art produced between 1868 and 1968. Rachel Price uncovers the surprising ways that concrete aesthetics from Cuba, Brazil, and Spain drew not only on global forms of constructivism but also on a history of empire, slavery, and media technologies from the Atlantic world. Analyzing Jose Marti’s notebooks, Joaquim de Sousandrade’s poetry, Ramiro de Maeztu’s essays on things and on slavery, 1920s Cuban literature on economic restructuring, Ferreira Gullar’s theory of the “non-object,” and neoconcrete art, Price shows that the turn to objects—and from these to new media networks—was rooted in the very philosophies of history that helped form the Atlantic world itself.
