Markets, Deliberation and Environment

摘要

The expansion of the market has been a worry to many. But while some are concerned about the expansion of the market in geographical terms (meaning, in fact, globalisation), most social democrats have discussed it in terms of the goods which are now subject to the market. Perhaps the two most mentioned goods are education and health - the claim is that they should not be distributed, supplied and priced according to 'the market', or supply and demand. However, another important good which many believe should not be subject to the caprice of the market is the 'environment'.
