Book Hack
LimitarianismBy Ingrid Robeyns

In a Nutshell

Philosopher Ingrid Robeyns sets out a new economic model that could address economic inequality and make the world a better place for all.

Favorite Quote

If … too much inequality is a bad thing, then it follows that there must be a limit to how much a person can have. After all, seen in terms of numbers, inequality is the distance from the bottom to the top. If inequality is ever to be curbed then there must be an upper boundary.

Ingrid Robeyns

Introduction

We live in an unfair world, and it's no secret that structural economic inequality is allowed to continue because it benefits those in power.

Across the world, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and Ingrid Robeyns believes that something must, and can, be done.

Robeyns is an award-winning philosopher and academic who is currently the Chair of Ethics of Institutions at Utrecht University.

In her January 2024 book, Robeyns explores the idea of 'limitarianism,' an economic model that seeks to redress systematic inequality by limiting how much wealth the super-rich can accrue.

Robeyns outlines the philosophy and includes insights from other economists, academics, and even the super-rich themselves to provide a compelling argument for a financial revolution.
