Can money buy everything?; The moral limits of markets

Do we want a society where everything is up for sale or are there certain moral values and civic goods that markets do not honour and money cannot buy? That’s the question

In my opinion we live in a consumer society and we are always thinking in money and prices but I think money can’t buy everything at least for the moment. We can buy all the materialistic things but the most important things in life, which are the abstract things, like love, friendship, happiness… can’t be bought. Nowadays it’s true we can “buy” health, especially in places where there isn’t public health, and we are progressing more and more everyday so we don’t know if we will be able to buy happiness or things like that in the future but for the moment this things are the ones which resist the extreme marketization of our society. For this reason all us view these things like more pure or better because they aren’t “corrupted” by us. So these are the civic values or goods which money hasn’t been able to buy yet and in my opinion this have to follow like that because I think money should be only our tool to trade things or buy things and cannot be our goal or the reason of the different social classes.
