Contested markets morality, devices and vulnerable populations / [electronic resource] : Philip Steiner. - pp. 204-216.

While certain contested goods do manage to make their way to the market, others have moved less far in this direction and seem permanently unable to do so. Moral contestation promotes, holds back or blocks the emergence of contested markets. This article examines the conditions that make the operation of these markets possible, and those that block their appearance. Based on a study of organs for transplantation, our discussion will focus on those devices that make transactions possible, and on the ‘vulnerable populations’ that these devices are intended to protect, either from or by the market.

當某些有爭議的商品成功進入市場,其他則朝相反方向,好像永遠都不能入市。道德爭論提升、限制或阻礙有爭議市場的出現。本文探討促使這些市場運作的條件,和阻礙這些市場出現的條件。透過器官移植的研究,我們的討論將聚焦在那些促使市場交易成為可能的手段,以及這些計劃企圖保護(不管是由市場與否)的「弱勢群體」。
