No wonder Michael Sandel is one of the most popular professors at Harvard University. Smart, thoughtful and provocative. Sandel asks all the critical questions surrounding relevant, recent and debated topics. It’s an absolute must read and one of the most important books I have read in years. Have a friend, spouse or sister read this too so you can have long, lingering philosophical conversation while sipping wine and nibbling at cheese.- Roxanne
