Problem
A. How, according to Sandel, does paid line-standing for congressional hearings in the United States involve corruption (state what is corrupted, how and by whom).
B. Sandel applies the term "bribery" to both cash for sterilization and to monetary payments to patients in health care (e.g. paying someone to give up smoking). What is the central difference between the two cases and how, despite this difference, does Sandel justify the application of the term "bribery" to both?
C. (a) Give an example of a good which, according to Sandel, cannot be bought and sold, and state why it cannot be bought and sold (b) how are such goods distinguished from those which can be bought and sold but are nevertheless corrupted as a result of being objects of monetary exchange? Give an example of such a good in your answer to (b).
D. (a) Summarize the daycare example, as presented by Sandel; (b) summarize the market solution to this example put forward by Brennan and Jaworski (c) in which way(s) does Brennan and Jaworski's market solution for the daycare example address Sandel's concerns about introducing a fine for late daycare pick-up? (d) Who, in your view, provides the more convincing argument and why?
