In Markets with Limits James Stacey Taylor argues that current
debates over the moral limits of markets have derailed. He argues
that they focus on a market-critical position that almost nobody
holds: That certain goods and services can be freely given away but
should never be bought or sold. And he argues that they focus on a
type of argument for this position that there is reason to believe
that nobody holds: That trade in certain goods or services is
wrongful solely because of what it would communicate. Taylor puts
the debates over the moral limits of markets back on track. He
develops a taxonomy of the positions that are actually held by
critics of markets, and clarifies the role played in current moral
and political philosophy by arguments that justify (or condemn)
certain actions owing in part to what they communicate. Taylor
argues that the debates have derailed because they were conducted
in accord with market, rather than academic, norms-and that this
demonstrates that market thinking should not govern academic
research. Markets with Limits concludes with suggestions as to how
to encourage academics to conduct research in accord with academic
norms and hence improve its quality. Key features Provides original
suggestions concerning how to improve the exegetical quality of
academic research Systematically identifies the primary exegetical
errors-and the ways in which these errors have adversely influenced
current debates-that Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski made in their
influential book, Markets Without Limits Argues that despite the
current, widespread view that semiotic objections to markets are
widespread in the literature, they are in actuality rare to
nonexistent Offers an up-to-date taxonomy of the current arguments
in the various debates over both the ontological and the moral
limits of markets Provides an extensive overview of mistaken claims
that have been made and propagated in various academic literatures
