Description
The Price of Life: In Search of What We're Worth and Who Decides Journalist and broadcaster Jenny Kleeman explores the value of human life in a world where data-driven decision-making is increasingly prevalent. She meets individuals who have faked their own death, lost loved ones to terrorism, and even modern-day slaves, to examine the implications of calculating the cost of life. Kleeman's encounters raise more questions than answers about the nature of humanity and the morality of decision-making. She delves into the world of philanthropy, healthcare, and justice, where the value of human life is often subject to cold, hard logic. By examining the final frontier in monetization, Kleeman asks what we lose and what we gain when we leave the judgments that really matter up to logic. Through her thought-provoking stories, Kleeman sheds light on the complexities of human life and the consequences of reducing it to numbers.
