While Sandel worries about the corrupting nature of some monetized transactions (do kids really develop a love of reading if they are bribed to read books?), he is also concerned about unequal access to money, which makes trades using money inherently unequal. More generally, he fears that the expansion of anonymous monetary exchange erodes social cohesion, and argues for reducing money’s role in society.
桑德尔担心某些货币化交易的腐败性质（真的可以用悬赏开发孩子的阅读兴趣吗？），但他也担心金钱获得渠道的不平等性，因为这导致了用钱进行的贸易具有内在不平等性。更一般地讲，阿担心匿名货币交换的扩张会侵蚀社会凝聚力，并呼吁减弱金钱在社会中的作用。
