In recent decades, all statistical data and scientific research have demonstrated a deeply alarming phenomenon: the gap between rich and poor continues to widen. A small group of the super-rich is becoming increasingly wealthy, while the gap between them and everyone else is growing.
In this book, philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns reveals the true scale of the problem of personal super-wealth, which has spiraled out of society's control over the past fifty years, and convincingly demonstrates that from a moral, political, economic, social, environmental, and psychological perspective, excessive personal wealth is not only unjustified but also harmful to all of us, including the rich. Super-wealth poses a real danger to democracy and is a serious obstacle to a stable, sustainable future.
In place of the current system, Robeyns proposes limitarism—a concept that calls for establishing strict limits on the amount of wealth an individual can possess. This would solve many of the problems created by neoliberal capitalism and provide the opportunity for a more just world order.
