So that's one reason to worry. There's a second reason to worry, and it's this: when market values enter they may change the norms and values of those civic practices." He cites examples of education, the justice system, and political influence. He continues: "Marketizing every aspect of life leads to a condition in which those who are affluent and those who are of modest means increasingly live separate lives: live, work, shop, and play in separate places. Our children are in different schools. This isn't good for democracy."
