Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale: The Moral Limits of Markets by Debra Satz

5.0

I picked this book off the clearance table of the book store and was surprised how well written it was. It is a serious philosophy book but was clearly written without getting bogged down in technical jargon. The author respectfully presented the range of positions on free markets and argued for her point of view without demonizing opposing view points. While generally in favor of free markets for many products, she has brought philosophical rigor to the common-sense notion that the market in some products should not be allowed or need regulation. After searching, I was disappointed that the author has not written any other books for me to read.
