   Jan 30, 2024 · We limit how much noise our neighbors can make. But if we want our human societies to thrive — indeed, in this epoch of climate change, if we want our human species to survive — we need to do more. We need to embrace, as Robeyns so compellingly argues, limits on income and wealth.

   Should we limit personal wealth?

   • I call this “limitarianism,” in which societies define a cap on how much personal wealth an individual can accumulate. But we should be morally more ambitious than only wanting to get rid of fortunes that are more than $1 billion. If we look carefully at the reasons for limiting personal wealth, we might well agree on a much lower maximum limit.

   What are the limits to wealth?

   • There are two limits to wealth that we should consider: one political, the other ethical. They should be set at different levels. The political level should be democratically decided and embedded in law and institutions; the ethical level would be a voluntary, personal decision, in which we can take our personal context into account.

   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.
