迈克尔・桑德尔：
Thank you very much for that introduction.And thank you to all of you for coming this evening,not only I hope to hear a lecture,but also to engage with me in a discussion,in a dialogue about some of the most challenging question facing us in our societies today.And the question I would like to discuss with you is what should be the role of money and markets in a good society.Today,there are fewer and fewer the things that money can't buy.For example,if you are sentenced to jail in Santa Barbara California,a city in California,and if you don't like the jail cell and if you have enough money,you can buy a prison cell upgrade,for how much do you suppose?It's about $90 a night.Or suppose you want to make some extra money--you need money,and you have trouble getting a job.Today there is a growing practice of body advertising.There are adverting firms that will enable you to rent your forehead to a company that wants the place,an ad there,an tattooed ad on your forehead.One woman needed money for the education of her son,and so she auctioned it off based on her forehead.She agreed to place a permanent tatto to any company willing to pay $10,000.Unfortunately,the company that agreed to pay her the money was an online casino.And so,she now bears for a life a permanent tatto advertising an online casino on her forhead,something money can now buy.Or,take an example that I learned about yesterday when I was in Xiamen.I heard about a woman who wanted to make some money in order to an iPhone 5.So she agreed--she proposed to sell hugs for 10 yuan a piece.So if you really need a little bit more affection than you receive,you can buy a huge.It's not even very expensive.Now this may not strike you as terribly serious examples about the role of money and markets,but if you look ate social life generally,in most societies around the world,certainly in my society,and I'm coming to think based on what my Chinese friends tell me,also in China,many of the most important aspects of social life,increasingly are governed,even dominated by money and markets.Take national security and the way we fight our wars,the way we attract soldiers fight in wars,did you know that in Iraq and Afghanistan,there were more private military contractors on the ground than there were US military troops? These are private companies who supply soldiers hired by a country,in this case,the United States,to fight wars.Now this is not because we ever had a public debate about whether we wanted to outsource war to private companies,but this is what is happening and it's happening in societies around the world.Now I want to make clear that I am not arguing in this lecture or in my book,"What's Money Can't Buy".I am not arguing against markets as such.What I am suggesting is that in recent decades,we have drifted almost without realizing from having market economies to becoming market societies.The difference is this.A market economy is a tool a valuable and effective tool for organizing productive activity.But a market society is different.A market society is a place where almost everything is up for sale,A market society is a way of life in which money and market values reach into spheres of life,dominate spheres of life,previously governed by nonmarket value,including family life,personal relations,health,education,national security,criminal justice,and civic life.Now it's not an easy question to decide where markets serve the public good where they don't.It's not an easy question.And yet,in recent decades,we have I think in both of our societies,increaingly assumed,assumed without really reflecting that market thinking,market reasoning by themselves can define that public good.I think this assumption is a mistake.And the purpose of my book is to call this assumption into question and to inspire,maybe even also to encourage and to provoke a serious set of public discussions and debates about the proper role of money and markets in a good society.
