Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler

Piyasanın Ahlâkî Sınırları

By: Michael J. Sandel

Meşhur siyaset felsefecisi Sandel, piyasa ve paranın toplumda oynaması gereken rolü sorguluyor. Çocuklara kitap okumaları veya iyi notlar almaları için para vermeli miyiz? Ne kadar kirliliğe izin verileceğine karar vermek için insan hayatına fiyat biçebilir miyiz? İnsanlara riskli yeni ilâçlar için denek olmaları veya organlarını bağışlamaları için para ödemek etik midir? Peki ya bizim savaşlarımızda çarpışmaları için paralı askerler tutmak; ya da tutukluları kâr amaçlı çalışan hapishanelere aktarmak; ya da seçkin üniversitelere girişi açık artırma ile satmak; ya da para ödemeye razı göçmenlere vatandaşlık satmak? Michael J. Sandel, New York Times’ın çok-satanlar listesindeki Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler kitabıyla günümüzün en büyük etik meselelerinden birini ele alıyor: Her şeyin satılık olduğu bir dünyada yanlış bir şeyler yok mudur? Eğer varsa, piyasa değerlerinin, hayatın âit olmadıkları çeperlerine girmelerini nasıl engelleyebiliriz? Piyasanın ahlâkî sınırları nedir? Son yıllarda piyasa değerleri neredeyse hayatın hiçbir alanında piyasa-dışı normlara yer bırakmadı. Sandel, piyasa ekonomisine sâhip olmaktan, pek de farkında olmadan, piyasa toplumu olmaya sürüklendiğimizi iddia ediyor. Sandel, dünya çapında çok-satan kitabı Adalet’te gösterdiği gibi günlük hayatımızda karşılaştığımız zorlu ahlâkî soruları sarih ve coşkulu bir şekilde aydınlatmada usta bir yazardır. Şimdi Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler’de de piyasa güdümlü çağımızda eksik olan bir tartışmayı provoke ediyor: Demokratik bir toplumda piyasanın münasip rolü nedir ve piyasanın takdir etmediği ve paranın satın alamayacağı ahlâkî ve vatandaşlığa âit şeyleri nasıl koruruz? Kitap Hakkında Değerlendirmeler Michael Sandel’ın Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler harika bir kitap ve hedef kitlesi biz olmasak da her ekonomistin okumasını tavsiye ederim. Kitap çok daha geniş bir kitleye, ilgili okurlara hitap ediyor. Ancak ekonomi disiplinine ilişkin ciddi bir hoşnutsuzluk damarına dokunuyor. Kitap insanı düşündüren ilginç örneklerle dolu. Bu kitabı baştan sona iki günden kısa bir sürede okudum. Ve uzun zamandır okuduğum herhangi bir kitaptan daha fazla kenar notu yazdım." –Timothy Besley, Journal of Economic Literature "Kışkırtıcı. Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler, ilgi çekici, zorlayıcı, sürekli tedirgin edici ve zaman zaman sinir bozucu bir okuma. Geniş bir okuyucu kitlesini hak ediyor." –David M. Kennedy, Democracy "Zekice, kolayca okunabilir, güzel bir şekilde anlatılmış ve çoğu zaman komik. Ahlak ve ekonomi arasındaki ilişki üzerine vazgeçilmez bir kitap." –David Aaronovitch, The Times (Londra) "Sandel muhtemelen dünyanın yaşayan en önemli felsefecisi." –Michael Fitzgerald, Newsweek "Piyasa tarafından büyülenmiş bir kültürde Sandel aklın vazgeçilmez sesi. Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler son yıllarda kamu felsefesi alanında yapılan en önemli çalışmalardan biri." –John Gray, New Statesman "Önemli bir kitap. Michael Sandel, piyasaların değerlerimize verdiği ahlaki zararın iç yüzünü ortaya çıkaracak doğru kişi." –Jeremy Waldron, The New York Review of Books "Dünyanın en ünlü felsefe öğretmeni, halkın zekâsına hakaret etmeden felsefeyi kamusal alana taşımanın mümkün olduğunu gösterdi. Sandel hem sol hem de sağ tarafından dışlandığına inandığı sivil erdem söylemi için bir alan açmaya çalışıyor." –Michael Ignatieff, The New Republic "Sandel o kadar nazik bir eleştirmen ki, bizden sadece gözlerimizi açmamızı istiyor. Yine de Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler piyasa ahlakının son derece ince bir kama olduğunu açıkça ortaya koyuyor. Sandel toplumdaki oldukça derin bir değişime işaret ediyor." –Jonathan V. Last, The Wall Street Journal "Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler gerçek bir halk filozofunun eseri. John Kenneth Galbraith'in 1958 tarihli etkili kitabı Bolluk Toplumu'nu (The Affluent Society) hatırlatıyor. Galbraith kamusal alanın yoksullaşmasından yakınıyordu. Sandel ise meydanın terk edilmesinden, daha doğrusu aramızdaki daha şanslı ve yetenekli kişilerin bu alandan çıkmasından endişe ediyor. İlgi çekici, zorlayıcı ve sürekli tedirgin edici bir okuma. Hayatın anlamı ve mutluluk arayışında benimsediğimiz araçlar konusunda tamamen maddi bir hesaba kaymanın ne kadar kolay olduğunu hatırlatıyor." –David M. Kennedy, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas "Sandel şu anda İngiliz dilinde fikirleri en etkili şekilde aktaran kişi." –The Guardian "Michael Sandel muhtemelen kendi kuşağının en popüler siyaset filozofu. Sandel’ın gördüğü ilgi bir filozoftan çok stadyumları dolduran bir kişisel gelişim gurusuna benziyor. Ancak izleyicilerine kazanç güçlerini en üst düzeye çıkarma ya da çakralarını dengeleme talimatı vermek yerine, onları toplumun nasıl örgütlendiğine dair temel soruları ele almaya davet ediyor. . . Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler adlı yeni kitabı, kamusal yaşamda ahlak için etkili bir argüman sunuyor." –Andrew Anthony, The Observer (Londra) "Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler, paranın aslında neleri satın alabileceğine dair örneklerle dolu. Sandel, bu tür değişikliklerin neden son derece önemli olduğunu gösterme konusunda bir dehaya sahip." –Martin Sandbu, Financial Times "Çağımızın önde gelen siyasi düşünürlerinden biri.... Sandel’ın yeni kitabı Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler: Piyasaların Ahlaki Sınırları adlı kitabını şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum. Dönüştüğümüz şey olan ve neredeyse her şeyin bir fiyatının olduğu piyasa toplumunun güçlü bir eleştirisi." –Michael Tomasky, The Daily Beast "Sandel’ın amacının önemini anlamak için öncelikle piyasa düşüncesinin ekonomi alanında kazandığı zaferin boyutlarını ve bu düşüncenin diğer alanlara ne ölçüde yayıldığını kavramak gerekir. Bu ekol, ekonomiyi ahlakla hiçbir ilgisi olmayan bir disiplin olarak görür ve bunun yerine ekonomi, teşviklerin bir etik boşluk içinde incelenmesidir. Sandel’ın kitabı, sakin bir şekilde, bu fikre karşı topyekûn bir saldırıdır. Umalım da Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler, argümanlarında ve örneklerinde bu kadar sabırlı ve birikimli olmasıyla bu tartışmalarda kalıcı bir değişime işaret etsin." –John Lancaster, The Guardian "Sandel çağımızın önde gelen kamusal entelektüelleri arasında yer alıyor. Ne aşırı basitleştiren ne de karmaşıklaştıran bir düzyazıyla açık ve öz bir şekilde yazıyor. Sandel zamanımızın can alıcı sorusunu soruyor: 'Her şeyin satılık olduğu bir toplum mu istiyoruz? Yoksa piyasaların itibar etmediği ve paranın satın alamayacağı bazı ahlaki ve medeni değerler mi var?" –Douglas Bell, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Derinlemesine kışkırtıcı ve entelektüel açıdan düşündürücü. Sandel’ın yaptığı şey, neyin değiştirilebilir olduğu ve neyin değiştirilemez olduğu, neyin meta terimlerine indirgenemeyeceği arasında bir çizgi çekmek için herhangi bir nedenimiz olup olmadığını sormaya teşvik etmektir. İnsanlık hakkında konuşmanın anlaşılır bir yolunu yeniden keşfetmeye olan umutsuz ihtiyacımızın farkına varmamız için bir alarm zili." –Rowan Williams, Prospect "Kamu yararını en iyi şekilde nasıl koruyacağımız ve herkesin yararına olacak güçlü toplumları nasıl inşa edeceğimiz kadar temel bir soruyla karşı karşıyayız. Sandel’ın kitabı bu tartışma için mükemmel bir başlangıç noktası." –Kevin J. Hamilton, The Seattle Times "Harvard'lı filozof Michael Sandel’ın yeni kitabını inceliyorum. Kendimi tekrar tekrar sayfaları çevirirken ve ‘Bu konuda hiçbir fikrim yoktu’ derken buldum. 2000 yılında ‘dev bir Pizza Hut logosuyla süslenmiş bir Rus roketinin uzaya reklam taşıdığını’ bilmiyordum. Stadyumlara artık şirketlerin isimlerinin verildiğini biliyordum, ancak artık ‘eve girmenin bile şirket destekli bir etkinlik olduğu’ hakkında hiçbir fikrim yoktu. New Jersey'deki bir ilkokulun 2001 yılında Amerika'nın ‘isim haklarını kurumsal bir sponsora satan’ ilk devlet okulu olduğunu bilmiyordum. Bu eğilimden neden endişe duyalım? Çünkü Sandel'a göre piyasa değerleri yurttaşlık değerlerini dışlıyor." – Thomas Friedman, New York Times "Günlük hayatın büyük meseleleri üzerine son derece mantıklı, ustaca yazılmış bir inceleme." – Kirkus Reviews (yıldızlı eleştiri) "Siyaset felsefesi en meşhur ismi Michael Sandel, yeni kitabında ‘neredeyse her şeyin alınıp satılabildiği’ bir toplumda yaşadığımızı savunuyor. Sandel, piyasalar hayatın daha fazla alanına sızdıkça, piyasa ekonomisinden ‘piyasa toplumu’na geçtiğimize ve dünyayı -ve içinde yaşayan bizlerin- metalara dönüştüğüne inanıyor. Ve Sandel bunu dile getirdiğinde, dünya onu dinliyor. Sandel’ın fikirleri bundan daha güncel olamazdı." – Rosamund Urwin, Evening Standard (Londra)

National Elections in Turkey

People, Politics, and the Party System

By: F. Michael Wuthrich

What determines voting behavior in Turkey? At a time when the center-right, religious-conservative leadership of the Justice and Development Party has dominated government and the political scene in Turkey—so much so that the democratic credentials of the regime have come into question—many have sought to understand what undergirds this party’s success at the polls. While many scholars have argued that elections in Turkey over time can be effectively and simply explained by static social or cultural cleavages, Wuthrich challenges these assertions with a framework that carefully attends to patterns of strategic vote-getting behavior in elections by political parties and their leaders. Using the campaign speeches of the political elite, election data at national and provincial levels, and careful observations of voter mobilization strategies across time, Wuthrich traces four distinct patterns that explain important shifts in electoral behavior. He covers the first free and fair multiparty election in 1950 and follows campaign strategies through 2011, highlighting and explaining the potential development of a new and more problematic paradigm emerging in the post-2007 environment.

Barack Obama, The Aloha Zen President

How a Son of the 50th State May Revitalize America Based on 12 Multicultural Principles

By: Michael Haas

With a foreword written by former presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, this book portrays President Barack Obama as a true child of Hawai'i and explains why he believes that America can achieve even more greatness by learning from the multicultural customs of the 50th state. Obama's aspiration to transform the United States using Hawai'i as his model has been a conspicuous theme in his books and speeches over the years. In them, he extols Hawai'i's multicultural ethos, describing how a normative, problem-solving mindset predicated on mutual respect and harmonious interchange is inculcated in the culture, politics, and society of the Islands. Indeed, this "Aloha Spirit" is imbued in Barack Obama, is part of what made him irresistibly charismatic as a candidate, and explains why voters in 2010 were baffled at his demeanor after he became the 44th President of the United States. This unique book examines Obama's decisions as an adult and as president and exposes how they are directly linked to the culture of Hawai'i and Obama's multicultural life as a child. The author and contributors also describe the ways in which native Hawaiians were dispossessed of their sovereignty and their land, how they steadfastly sought justice, and how their quest served as a model for Obama's mobilization of support for his candidacy.

Space, Movement, and Visibility in Pompeian Houses

By: Michael A. Anderson

This volume examines the pivotal role of movement, visibility, and experience within Pompeian houses as a major factor determining house form; the use of space; and the manner, meaning, and modalities of domestic daily life, through the application of GIS-based analysis. Through close consideration of ancient literature, detailed explanations of methodology, and exploration of results, Michael Anderson provides new perspectives on Pompeian domestic space including room types and household activities that rarely feature in the discussion of ancient housing. Readers gain a better understanding of priorities in the design of Pompeian houses, the degree to which daily life was interrupted by earthquake damage in the site’s final years, and evolving motivations behind wall painting decoration. The volume not only explores how Pompeian houses reflected the needs of everyday life as imagined by their architects, but also how these spaces served to influence and control daily activities and ultimately how they were transformed by the spatial and visual requirements of domestic life. Space, Movement, and Visibility in Pompeian Houses is suitable for students and scholars of Pompeian houses and domestic life, Roman architecture and urbanism, and spatial analysis and space syntax.

Creating a Culture of Invitation in Your Church

By: Michael Harvey MBA

We like to think our church welcomes visitors. But how welcoming can we be, if we are not inviting? We are welcoming as long as people get themselves across the church threshold, but we fail to take our welcome outside. During the years Michael has been developing Back to Church Sunday, he has conducted an extensive study on the seemingly simple subject of 'invitation'. Over 650 times in 12 countries he has asked: 'Why don't we invite our friends to take a closer look at Christ?' The many answers form the impetus for this book. After considering why it seems so hard to invite friends to church, Michael looks at our concerns over acceptance and rejection, and suggests ideas gleaned from years of trying to establish a culture of invitation. 'When I have specifically encouraged Christians to issue an invitation, some people say yes and some no. God sent his son to invite us all into a relationship, and so to be like God is to be a person who invites!
