Is it ethical, and democratic, for an individual to amass a limitless amount of wealth, and then spend it however they choose? As democracies weaken, our climate becomes increasingly unpredictable, and inequality worsens, many of us feel that the obvious answer is no—but what can we do about it? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns has long written and argued for the principle she calls \"limitarianism\"—a “common sense” (Jia Tolentino) case against extreme wealth which posits that a considered cap on one’s individual wealth is an urgent ethnical concern that will ultimately lead to healthier, more democratic societies. In this “provocative consideration of extreme wealth accumulation” (\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e) Robeyns ignites an urgent debate about wealth and when, how and why to limit it, calling into question the legitimacy of capitalism and neoliberalism  and inviting us to a radical reimagining of our world.","brand":"Astra House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46623773032703,"sku":"9781662603365","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781662603365_s600x595.jpg?v=1777912630","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781662603365","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
