Description
Book Introduction
“If you get first place on the test, I’ll buy you the latest smartphone.” Will this strategy of parents be successful? Advertisements that can be seen everywhere in daily life How will it affect our lives? Incentive experiments that gave students money for improving their grades had no significant results. The study found that money actually had a negative effect on students' willingness to study. Dozens, even hundreds, of advertisements pass us by every day. Advertising itself may not have a huge impact on our lives. However, as countless things in our daily lives are dominated by advertising, there are things that are taken away from us. There are incentives for grades, countless advertisements, and many other things that have begun to be traded for money in our society. As markets continue to expand their reach, "What Money Can't Buy for Teens" was published to prevent markets from dictating everything in our society. "What Money Can't Buy for Teens" poses questions that teenagers might want to consider in a "market society" where the market dominates all areas of human activity. As the market influences norms that are difficult to explain through economic logic, such as lifestyle, culture, and morality, people increasingly believe that they can buy and sell more things with money. Although we live in a society where it seems like anything can be bought and sold with money, we still know very well that there are things that money cannot buy. So, what are some things that shouldn't be traded on the market? What determines this? Michael Sandel cites numerous examples of everyday life, from queues and medical services to fines, gifts, and performance incentives, all of which are now transacted in monetary terms. He encourages us to consider why market logic shouldn't dictate everything and what shouldn't be transacted in the market. Why shouldn't we allow markets to continue to grow? What's wrong with a society where market value represents all the value of an object? What problems arise when values are transacted in monetary terms? In a society where everything is bought and sold, are there goods that money can't buy? Let's find the answers to these questions together as we read "What Money Can't Buy for Teenagers"! |

Publisher's Review
Harvard University Professor Michael Sandel's most popular lecture
Markets & Morals
Our country's teenagers meet through books!
Professor Michael Sandel, a professor of political science at Harvard University, created a stir in Korean society by asking the question, “What is justice?”
And in 2012, we once again raised the question of "what money can't buy," sounding the alarm about the corruption and distortion of moral values by market values.
The book, "What Money Can't Buy," became a huge hit when it was offered as a philosophy course called "Markets & Morals" at Harvard University.
On the first day of class, students who had not successfully registered for the class flocked to the classroom, causing an incident where the class had to be moved to a larger room.
This popular lecture has been summarized and excerpted in "Things Money Can't Buy for Teenagers" so that teenagers in our country can easily understand it.
This is an opportunity to glimpse into the perspective of world-renowned scholar Michael Sandel on the market economy, and to enjoy a book that concisely translates the lectures he taught Harvard University students into a book suitable for teenagers.
Teenagers in our society will have to live in an era of increasingly severe 'market supremacy'.
We are entering an era where the market seems to decide everything and only market decisions are considered important.
In this society, where the role of the market is increasingly expanding, criticism of the limitations of the market economy is a topic that teenagers must consider at least once.
By reading "What Money Can't Buy for Teens," you can build background knowledge to prepare for not only the non-fiction passages on the College Scholastic Ability Test but also the college essay exam.
Even difficult concepts are made easy and fun!
Add examples, pictures and diagrams to help you understand
"Things Money Can't Buy" Reborn for Teenagers
I think everyone should read the works of world-renowned scholar Michael Sandel.
But it is true that when you actually have a thick book in front of you, you start to hesitate a little.
"What Money Can't Buy for Teens" uses examples and materials from the original book "What Money Can't Buy" to explain concepts that may seem difficult to teens in an easy-to-understand way.
However, rather than simply imparting knowledge on given topics, we made it possible for students to think about the problems and solutions of the topic on their own.
The figures and diagrams included in the text help you intuitively understand difficult concepts and explanations.
"What Money Can't Buy for Teens" will serve as a guide for teens who are beginning to take an interest in various social issues, helping them read and find answers on their own.
Additionally, it will serve as a stepping stone to approach the original work, “Things Money Can’t Buy,” with a lighter heart.
"Dad, why are we waiting? Sighing at the amusement park's 'Magic Pass'"
_Han ○ Economy (May 5, 2023)
If you buy a Magic Pass, you can ride rides that normally require waiting in line for over an hour without waiting.
What should we think about the criticism that money buys the right to rip off sellers, and the position that it is mutually beneficial for both consumers and sellers?
Gift certificates are the trend for Chuseok gifts, with gifts in the 50,000 to 100,000 won range being the preferred gift amount.
_Yeon○ News (2023.9.18.)
These days, department store gift certificates and gift card vouchers are commonplace as holiday or birthday gifts. Everyone thinks that cash or a gift certificate is far better than a carefully chosen gift that you're not sure the recipient will like.
When this culture becomes our daily life, aren't we missing out on something?
"Handicapped parking? I'll pay the fine."
_Maeil Business Newspaper (May 17, 2011)
There was a person who parked his car in a handicapped parking space and said, “If you tell me to pay a fine, I will.”
Why do we find this reaction offensive? What's the difference between a fine and a fee?
