Michael Sandel: Why We Shouldn't Trust Markets with Our Civic Life

Name: Michael Sandel: Why We Shouldn't Trust Markets with Our Civic Life
Uploaded: 2013-10-09T00:35:02
Duration: 15 min
Description: In the past three decades, says Michael Sandel, the US has drifted from a market economy to a market society; it's fair to say that an American's experience of shared civic life depends on how much money they have. (Three key examples: access to education, access to justice, political influence.) Sandel asks us to think honestly on this question: In our current democracy, is too much for sale?
