如果《正義》鍛練了你的思辨能力， 那麼，《錢買不到的東西》將讓你明白自己真正想要的！ 當金錢買不到的東西愈來愈少， 我們面對的，不只是財富的分配不公， 而是必須去思考市場的極限，以及我們要選擇怎樣的人生！ 當每樣東西都能買賣，是否有錢就有了天壤之別？ 當生命中各種美好事物都被標上價格，事物的價值也跟著變質了？   三十年前，沒有人認為： ．囚犯只要付費，就可以升等住進好的牢房； ．病患只要多付費，可以獲得醫師的手機號碼，全年無休醫療諮詢； ．役男不想當兵，政府可以花錢請外國傭兵去打仗； ．富國的獵人只要付費，可以射殺瀕臨絕種的非洲黑犀牛。 然而如今，這一切都已成真。   金錢交易的市場機制，已經滲透到日常生活的各面向，大舉侵入了原本非屬市場的領域。從健康醫療、教育、法律、政治到人際關係，一旦事物變成了「商品」，就會失去某個很重要的「什麼」。過去我們不曾關注過這個問題，但也許這個「什麼」，正是建構一個美好社會所不可或缺的。 桑德爾教授提醒，我們應該自問：世上有什麼東西是無論如何都不該用錢去買的？我們也必須決定，應該以什麼樣的價值來管理社會及公民生活的各領域。當今的市場機制已與道德脫鉤，而我們需要將兩者重新連結起來－－面對金錢的蔓延，我們必須選擇，如何劃定正義的防線，以守護我們都渴求實現的美好生活！   【作者簡介】 邁可．桑德爾　Michael...
