Recenzii
'Critics of commodification often simply state their prejudices against certain markets. They offer indictments without evidence. And they rarely think through the downsides of their proposals. In this thorough and well-researched book, Yew-Kwang Ng demonstrates that there are feasible ways to commodify various taboo products and services, which would save lives, help the poor, and generate excellent consequences for all involved. Adopting Yew-Kwang Ng's policy ideas would do a tremendous amount of good.' Jason Brennan, Georgetown University
'Yew-Kwang Ng has one of the most original minds that I have ever encountered. In this stimulating and highly readable book, Ng puts his mind to the task of puncturing many of the shibboleths that have been put forward against the use of markets to allocate goods and services like human organs and sexual favors. Ng is a hard-wired utilitarian, and illustrates in this excellent book how the utilitarian perspective can shed much-needed light on the morality of using market exchange in controversial situations such as these. Anyone who has been troubled by the extension of markets into these areas should read this book.' Dennis C. Mueller, Universität Wien
