Women as Commodities Introduction
  Described by Dean Faust as possessing the most unexpected juxtaposition of expertise of the entire Women, Money, and Power conference, this panel features a novelist describing the commodification of fictional female characters as they prepare for genteel marriage, a philosopher analysing about the ethics of surrogate motherhood, and an economist talking about the global sex trade.

This panel is moderated by political philosopher and Harvard professor of government Michael Sandel.
