Explore the thought-provoking book, 'Commodification and Its Discontents', which delves into the complex relationship between market capitalism and human values. In a world where financial value increasingly replaces cherished human values, this insightful text challenges readers with pressing questions: Should human organs be commodified? Can affluent individuals ethically pay those in need to attain medical treatment faster? Should invaluable museum artifacts be up for sale?

Authored by scholar Nicholas Abercrombie and published by John Wiley & Sons (UK) in 2020, this compelling read consists of 224 pages filled with critical analysis. Abercrombie offers a robust examination of commodification, emphasizing that despite the encroachment of market values into areas once considered sacred, moral resistance continues to shape our perceptions of worth. This book is essential for students and scholars seeking to understand the nuanced dynamics of culture, value systems, and market capitalism.

Whether you are an academic, a student of economics, or simply a curious reader, 'Commodification and Its Discontents' serves as a significant resource to reflect on the ramifications of commodification.

Description:
Should human organs be bought and sold? Is it right that richer people should be able to pay poorer people to wait in a queue for them? Should objects in museums ever be sold? The assumption underlying such questions is that there are things that should not be bought and sold because it would give them a financial value that would replace some other, and dearly held, human value. Those who ask questions of this kind often fear that the replacement of human by money values “ a process of commodification “ is sweeping all before itHowever, as Nicholas Abercrombie argues, commodification can be, and has been, resisted by the development of a moral climate that defines certain things as outside a market. That resistance, however, is never complete because the two regimes of value “ human and money “ are both necessary for the sustainability of society. His analysis of these processes offers a thought-provoking read that will appeal to students and scholars interested in market capitalism and culture.

Soft, even airdried.
Color: Butterscotch, Size: King/Cal King, Color: Butterscotch, Size: King/Cal King
I needed a larger, better match in color to protect my sofa from our pets. It is very soft even after hanging to dry. It dries very quickly. It did not shed in the wash. If you plan to machine dry keep in mind the fact that no or low heat is necessary. The color worked out for my needs. I recommend it.

Soft, velvety and very pretty.
Happy with this blanket. A bit thin, but I use it for layering so it is perfect for that. The color is a deep, rich purple. Which can be hard to find. Does not shed at all and feels very comfortable against the skin.

Fuzzies
I've waited to write this review to see if the fuzzies would go away. I've washed these blankets 4 times, twice when I first got them. The shedding was really bad on the first two washes, and each time I launder them, I hope they're gone, but no, I have to spend time picking them off, and I continue to do this, because the blankets came at a great price, they're a perfect weight, soft and cozy. Just beware if this would irritate you.
