Managing Passions and Constructing Interest
Steiner, Philippe
Managing Passions and Constructing Interest - 2013.
5
Market operation is based on the existence of material interests and reasonable, moderate passions rather than insatiable, potentially harmful ones. Interest is not a natural given but a social construct. We examine how interest was constructed through the creation of an online gambling market and why comparable construction failed in the case of human organs for transplant purposes. We study the market devices that make it possible to sell goods whose commodity status is contested on moral grounds.
