他们指出资本主义已经最大程度地改善物质生活,但同时资本主义也使人的欲望变本加厉,其中的途径之一就是以财富衡量经济。哈佛大学政治哲学家,迈克尔桑德尔在《钱财所不能买》中提到一切向钱看齐,这种思想让他很恼火。桑德尔先生提出一个问题:如今市场的作用是否过大?
He argues that it has, and packs his book with examples. Some, such as the sale of a poorman s kidney for transplanting into a rich man s body, will make many people squirm.Others, such as the sale of naming rights for sports stadiums, may yield only a resignedshrug. But almost all give pause for thought. Mr Sandel poses two objections consistently.One is inequality: the more things money can buy, the more the lack of it hurts. The otherMr Sandel calls corruption: buying and selling can change the way a good is perceived.Paying people to give blood does not work. Giving schoolchildren money as an incentive toread books may make reading a chore rather than a lifelong pleasure.
他认为是的,并且在书中提出大量论据。例如,贩卖穷人的肾,移植到富人体内,这样的例子让人心神不宁。又例如,出售体育馆的命名权,对此人们大概只会无奈的耸耸肩。但几乎所有人都会重新考虑市场的作用。桑德尔先生对两点不断提出异议。第一点是分配不公:钱的作用越大,没有钱就会越痛苦。桑德尔先生将第二点称为人性扭曲:买卖会改变美好事物的性质。人们不能付钱买血。但是以钱作为奖励,让孩子读书,会使阅读变得无聊乏味,可阅读应该是人生一大乐事。
