Having Too Much
Philosophical Essays on Limitarianism
Endorsements
The collection of essays in this volume encompasses much of the top-tier literature on a novel view in political theory—limitarianism. Questions of whether imposing limits on wealth can be justified are discussed at length and from multiple perspectives, drawing on core approaches to justice, as well as democratic theory, the history of ideas, republicanism, and environmental policies. The book is a valuable resource for academics working on political theory or related fields, and for a non-specialist audience interested in the phenomenon and problems associated with wealth concentration.
