The market can knock down walls. It can create links. It can produce wealth. But it can t preserve stability. And the global capitalist system also cannot be made responsible for the health of a child or the pension of an old person.
Market values are wholly inadequate for society.
Market values have penetrated into areas of society where they do not belong. They have conquered areas not previously subject to it, most notably medical care. Medical care was never supposed to be a business, but a profession. In America, where money has become an end, instead of a means to an end, it has become almost purely a business. Market values have assumed an importance that is excessive and in conflict with professional values.
