The author is not against the market and the economy. But he disagrees in how the marketeconomy changes to a “market society”. He argues “Today, the logic of buying and selling no longer applies to material goods alone. It increasingly governs the whole of life”.

And the second, corruption that will be shown because everything could have a price therefore all is corruptible.
