Limitarianism
Book description
"A powerful case for limitarianism-the idea that we should set a maximum on how much resources one individual can appropriate. A must-read!"
-Thomas Piketty, bestselling author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century
An original, bold, and convincing argument for a cap on wealth by the philosopher who coined the term…
Why read it?
1 author picked Limitarianism as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Everyone is familiar with the idea of a minimum wage, but should there also be a maximum wage? Should there be an upper limit on the amount of wealth that anyone is allowed to possess? In this fantastic and easy-to-read book, Ingrid Robeyns convincingly argues yes. She shows why a society with billionaires is dangerous, unfair, unhealthy, and ultimately worse for everyone.
Like every brilliant book, this one starts off seeming radical but ends up seeming obvious.
From Tom's list on economic inequality and how to fix it.
