Introduction
Explore the ethical controversies of financial markets in the Justice Today course with respect to Money, Markets and Morals.
About this course
Should you be able to buy a vote, citizenship, or college admission? Would you bet on someone else’s life or, more accurately their death date? What about paying to see the exploitation of a person?
Competition, status, and greed often cause one’s moral compass to move in the wrong direction, but if there is a market to support these macabre sales, then the question to consider is this: Are there certain moral and civic goods, that markets do not honor, and money cannot buy?
Deciding case-by-case the ethical considerations to determine when and if people’s rights are violated, you will immerse yourself in videos from the Institute for New Economic Thinking, learning alongside a global cohort of peers engaging in discussion and debating the moral dividing line.
Led by award-winning Harvard Professor Michael J. Sandel, professor of the popular HarvardX course Justice, you will explore topics that might sound familiar, like price gouging and human organ sales but have you thought of line standing, refugee quotas, or lookism? This course will take a deep dive into various needs? and whether they abuse market mechanisms.
Should everything be for sale without limits?
What you will learn from Justice Today: Money, Markets, and Morals?
- The ways in which markets have crowded out non-market spaces and norms.
- To reflect on the moral limits – if any – of market norms.
- How needs? are subjective, and place value on nontraditional goods and services.
