#Auction Method

The auction method is the spectacle of awarding scarce resources to whoever shouts the loudest price. Draped in the rhetoric of fairness, it secretly appoints the thickness of one’s wallet as the ultimate eligibility criterion. Proclaiming environmental protection and efficiency, its champions wage an exclusionary shouting match, ignoring any hope of quiet coexistence. Under the banner of sustainability, the competition meant to foster altruism inevitably becomes a celebration of the most avaricious.
