Michael Sandel on Money and Morality

BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Michael Sandel on Money and Morality

Andrew Marr and guests Michael Sandel, Diane Coyle and Grigory Yavlinsky.

Andrew Marr discusses money and morality with philosopher Michael Sandel, and economists Diane Coyle and Grigory Yavlinsky.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses the relationship between markets and morals with the political philosopher Michael Sandel. In his latest book, What Money Can't Buy, Sandel questions the dominance of the financial markets in our daily lives, in which everything has a price. But the economist Diane Coyle stands up for her much maligned profession, and points to the many benefits of a market economy. The Russian economist Grigory Yavlinksy argues against viewing the world of money as separate from culture and society: he believes the financial crisis was merely a symptom of a wider moral collapse, and that it is time to examine the way we live.

Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
