Some very insightful thinking here; it really opened my eyes. This stuff needs to come out into the political debate and be addressed before we are at a point where there really is nothing left that can't be bought. ( )

本書內容大概是說市場機制蔓延到其他領域時
以公平性與腐化的角度說明市場機制應有極限
話雖如此，哪天去環球影城時，我還是會買快速通關券吧

第二章提及有慈善(?)機構提供獎金給願意接受絕育之有毒癮的女人
雖然作者沒寫明，但感覺作者是持反對的立場
作者也詳實地敘述正方的說法，以及市場邏輯的觀點
我看完這段時，我反而偏向正方的立場
這看起來只是二種道德之間的內戰(無辜的嬰兒不應該一出生就成為毒癮寶寶 V.S.生育能力不應付諸市場交易)
市場邏輯只是恰巧站在正方而已

後續的章節述及人壽保險數百年來被視為替人命訂出市場價格而與道德牴觸
但因為考量到它提供的社會利益，才妥協忍受腐蝕道德的市場作法
把這說法搬回去前面的章節
提供獎金給願意接受絕育之有毒癮的女人，好像也不是太令人厭惡的做法吧

雖然出版社在副標題加了正義一詞
但這在本書幾乎沒出現啊 ( )

A surprisingly accessible and engaging read--which is quite a feat when you consider a work combining economics and philosophy. Sandel depicts the problem as more than just commodification that favours the rich. The subtler effect of inserting economic optimization into relationships between people and communities, what Sandel calls corruption, distorts the ability to even frame moral agency. For example, a supply and demand approach of virtue (i.e. don't exhaust your compassion) fundamentally changes the understanding of the good as a practice rather than a resource. The marketizing presupposes the very concept of "ought" to be transactional, thereby paving the way for any one of Sandel's eye-opening case studies from bribing childhood reading to short selling the life spans of strangers.

From Herb Reinhart

I have the same issue with this book that many other reviewers had: it presents many examples of how money and commercialization can impact things from sports to education, yet is painfully slim on what we're actually supposed to do about it. This book is good for sparking thought and discussion but doesn't do much more than that. ( )
