Repugnant markets. We heard about them from economist Al Roth in a recent Planet Money episode. These are markets that aren't allowed because people feel icky about putting a price on something. For example, it's basically illegal to buy and sell kidneys in much of the world. In today's bonus episode, Mary Childs talks with Al about other repugnant markets that didn't make it into the original show, like surrogacy and blood plasma. They also discuss how money can change relationships.You can hear that original Planet Money episode here: https://www.npr.org/1197956769 Show your support for Planet Money and the reporting we do by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
