Michael Sandel on Market Economy - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 180 Market Economy/Sandel: Sandel complains that Western economies "gradually stopped having a market economy and began to be a market society. The difference: a market economy is a tool - a valuable and effective tool - for organising productive activity. A market society, however, is a way of life in which the value system of the market has seeped into all aspects of human endeavour. It is a place where all social relations have become market-like." (1) See Markets/Sandel. 1. Michael Sandel, Was man für Geld nicht kaufen kann: Die moralischen Grenzen des Marktes. Berlin 2012. S. 17-18._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number. The corresponding books are indicated on the right hand side.
