May you sell your spare kidney? May gay men pay surrogates to bear
them children? Should we allow betting markets on terrorist attacks
and natural disasters? May spouses pay each other to do the dishes,
watch the kids, or have sex? Should we allow the rich to
genetically engineer gifted, beautiful children? May you ever sell
your vote? Most people-and many philosophers-shudder at these
questions. To put some goods and services for sale offends human
dignity. If everything is commodified, then nothing is sacred. The
market corrodes our character. In this expanded second edition of
Markets without Limits, 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. Key Updates
and Revisions to the Second Edition: Includes revised introductory
chapters to further clarify what's at stake in the commodification
debate. Provides easier-to-follow chapters on semiotic objections,
stronger analyses of these objections, and more evidence of these
objections' widespread pervasiveness. Offers cogent responses to
several recent papers that have raised counterexamples to the
authors' thesis. Includes new empirical evidence on the ways
markets sometimes crowd in virtue and altruism. Analyzes the topics
of blackmail and "associative" objections to markets. Includes new
material on issues surrounding exploitation and coercion, selling
citizenship, residency rights, and arguments about "dignity" as
objections to markets.
