Value Pluralism and a Price For Everything

Some anti-commodification critics have suggested that putting a price on everything is automatically ruled out by value pluralism. I deny this and propose two ways this might be the case. Firstly, if the financial value expressed by prices is taken as fundamental, that fundamental value might be compossible with other fundamental values. Secondly, if the financial value expressed by prices is understood as a non-fundamental, reducible value, it might reduce to more than one fundamental value. In either case, value pluralism would then be compatible with a price for everything. These possibilities provide a way out of a dilemma for proponents of the Markets Without Limits thesis between financial value monism and a defective value pluralism.
