Political Economy Debate between Debra Satz, Stanford University School of Humanities & Sciences, and Jason Brennan, The McDonough School of Business and Georgetown University.

Filene Auditorium, Moore Building
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Markets are everywhere and provide us with food, clothing, computers, education, and so much more. But should everything be for sale? Are there limits to what should be commercialized? Should you be able to sell your vote or a kidney? Should childless couples be able to pay a surrogate to have a baby? This debate brings together two leading philosophers with opposing views on these thought-provoking questions.
