I vad kan vi lita på marknadskrafter?

Jag hittade en föreläsning av Michael Sandel (prof. i filosofi Harvard) på TED som jag vill sprida. Jag har ju tipsat om honom förut i samband med sina föreläsningar i kursen "What's the Right Thing to Do?" Nu föreläser han om "why we shouldn't trust markets with our civic life"
"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.) In a talk and audience discussion, Sandel asks us to think honestly on this question: In our current democracy, is too much for sale?" Lyssna! Det berör i högsta grad även vårt svenska politiska klimat...
