Sandel Lecture Draws 14,000 to Outdoor Amphitheater in Seoul, Korea

By the end of last summer, Sandel’s international book tour for What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets had taken him to London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Seoul, and Sao Paulo.  This winter, as additional foreign language editions of the book appear, he will travel to Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Jaipur, and Berlin.

Here are video excerpts of his interactive lecture in Seoul, to an audience 14,000, who gathered to hear him in an outdoor amphitheater at Yonsei University:
