Explore the thought-provoking book, 'Commodification and Its Discontents', which delves into the complex relationship between market capitalism and human values. In a world where financial value increasingly replaces cherished human values, this insightful text challenges readers with pressing questions: Should human organs be commodified? Can affluent individuals ethically pay those in need to attain medical treatment faster? Should invaluable museum artifacts be up for sale?

Authored by scholar Nicholas Abercrombie and published by John Wiley & Sons (UK) in 2020, this compelling read consists of 224 pages filled with critical analysis. Abercrombie offers a robust examination of commodification, emphasizing that despite the encroachment of market values into areas once considered sacred, moral resistance continues to shape our perceptions of worth. This book is essential for students and scholars seeking to understand the nuanced dynamics of culture, value systems, and market capitalism.

Whether you are an academic, a student of economics, or simply a curious reader, 'Commodification and Its Discontents' serves as a significant resource to reflect on the ramifications of commodification.

Description:
Should human organs be bought and sold? Is it right that richer people should be able to pay poorer people to wait in a queue for them? Should objects in museums ever be sold? The assumption underlying such questions is that there are things that should not be bought and sold because it would give them a financial value that would replace some other, and dearly held, human value. Those who ask questions of this kind often fear that the replacement of human by money values “ a process of commodification “ is sweeping all before itHowever, as Nicholas Abercrombie argues, commodification can be, and has been, resisted by the development of a moral climate that defines certain things as outside a market. That resistance, however, is never complete because the two regimes of value “ human and money “ are both necessary for the sustainability of society. His analysis of these processes offers a thought-provoking read that will appeal to students and scholars interested in market capitalism and culture.

Cooling pillowcase
Color: 01 - Light Grey
These cooling pillowcases are fabulous. I just have one complaint they snap at the end instead of having a zipper, which could be uncomfortable if you’re laying on that snap. Also, it’s very hard to unfasten.

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.
