Ingrid Robeyns: The Case Against Extreme Wealth

‘No-one deserves to be a millionaire’, says philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns in her essential new book, Limitarianism. In a world where billionaires accumulate vast sums, placing them beyond the reach of society, Robeyns talks about how poverty is a visible harm, but our invisible wealth problem is also a widespread cause of social, environmental, and psychological damage – including to the rich themselves.
