To put some goods and services for sale offends human dignity. If everything is commodified, then nothing is sacred. The market corrodes our character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this expanded second edition of \u003cem\u003eMarkets without Limits\u003c\/em\u003e, Jason Brennan and Peter M. Jaworski say it is now past time to give markets a fair hearing. The market does not, the authors claim, introduce wrongness where there was not any previously. Thus, the question of what rightfully may be bought and sold has a simple answer: if you may do it for free, you may do it for money. Contrary to the conservative consensus, Brennan and Jaworski claim there are no inherent limits to what can be bought and sold, but only restrictions on how we buy and sell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Updates and Revisions to the Second Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes revised introductory chapters to further clarify whats at stake in the commodification debate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides easier-to-follow chapters on semiotic objections, stronger analyses of these objections, and more evidence of these objections widespread pervasiveness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eOffers cogent responses to several recent papers that have raised counterexamples to the authors thesis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes new empirical evidence on the ways markets sometimes crowd in virtue and altruism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the topics of blackmail and associative objections to markets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes new material on issues surrounding exploitation and coercion, selling citizens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, \u003cem\u003eMarkets without Limits\u003c\/em\u003e is a thought-provoking and challenging book that offers a fresh perspective on the commodification debate. While some may be uncomfortable with the idea of selling certain goods and services, Brennan and Jaworski argue that there are no inherent limits to what can be bought and sold, but only restrictions on how we buy and sell. By challenging the conservative consensus and offering a more nuanced and empirically grounded analysis, this book provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the role of markets in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367758875\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Brennan,Peter Jaworski","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104694661370,"sku":"9780367758875","price":136.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657274667914_book.jpg?v=1657400135","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/markets-without-limits-moral-virtues-and-commercial-interests-9780367758875","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
