- Abstract
- If political philosophy — at least a part of it — deals with the moral justification of the institutions that rule our political life, the way in which we should organise our social interactions, then the moral standing of market is certainly a key topic for its discipline. Is the market fair? Michael Sandel, professor of political philosophy at Harvard, often linked to the american communitarianism — despite his denials — has built along the years a solid criticism of market whose most successful formulation has been provided in his recent book What Money Can't Buy (2012). In the present work, we reconstruct in details the moral justification for markets. We then discuss its limits. We particularly focus on the argument of "corruption" proposed by Sandel: we discuss its relevance, its theoretical foundation (to which theory of justice is the argument connected with?), its various aspects and applications, as well as its limits.
