   Mar 13, 2024 · The fourth reason to limit wealth is the most philosophically fundamental of all: no-one can say that they deserve their fortune. Many believe that what we can reap in the market is what we morally deserve. But this is a mistake. Wealth is, to a large extent, the result of various factors that we can in no way take credit for.

   Should we limit personal wealth?

   • I call this “limitarianism,” in which societies define a cap on how much personal wealth an individual can accumulate.

   What are the limits to wealth?

   • There are two limits to wealth that we should consider: a political limit and an ethical limit. These are set at different levels. The political level is democratically decided and embedded in law and institutions; the ethical level is a voluntary, personal decision, where we can take our personal context into account.

   Is there an upper limit on wealth?

   • Ultimately, you come to the conclusion that there has to be an upper limit on the amount of wealth that can be possessed. That’s my argument. There are important values like the survival of the human species on Earth.

   Should wealth go to the people with the least?

   • If you’re a billionaire, each additional dollar is virtually meaningless, whereas if you are a person who is earning $2 a day, each additional dollar is really important to you. So, as wealth is created, that should make us lean towards favoring it going to the people with the least. Yes.
