Authored by Michael Sandel
Professor Michael Sandel is a rock star, and this book is nothing short of game changing, particularly when considered against the backdrop of neoliberalism and its impacts on education. The central thesis statement of this text prompts us to ask ourselves “are there some things that money should not be able to buy”? In doing, Sandel provokes us to reflect on the impact that markets have on our societies, driving inequity, and creating pockets of division. As an education researcher, this text has profoundly shaped my views on who does and should have access to education.
