I am unsympathetic to people who insist on reducing everything to its market value.

I've heard the arguments they use to justify why they do and they're all hogwash.

What is wrong with market price?

that it reduces everything including culture to just one metric, money. Are you a fan of a band? can't go because you got outsold by some rich person that maybe cares or maybe not, it doesn't matter, they just have more money that you.

The space at a concert is limited so some form filtering will have to happen, but if the only metric is market price that's a pretty sad society specially when we're talking about culture IMO
