In What Money Can't Buy, renowned political philosopher Michael J. Sandel 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? Over 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?

In this book the authors "reveal how twenty of Australia's finest contemporary entrepeneurs have managed to crack new markets, with little or no initial financial backing, stealing a march under the very gaze of supremely better-resourced and well-trenched opposition". They "show how, by intuitively applying 'conceptual creativity', these entrepeneurs discover and implement new 'business, product and sevice concepts' which remove them from the competive rat race, and which create a new race in which they can lead." They "demonstrate that, while most business people are constrained by patterns of thinking to conformity with industry norms and practice, highly successful entrepeneurs deliberately challenge such convention, doggedly discovering and pioneering new concepts that previously either had not been considered or were regarded as unpromisiing." - page 16.
