📢#OutNow in #OA: 'Having Too Much: #Philosophical Essays on #Limitarianism' by Ingrid Robeyns (ed.).
'Having Too Much' is the first academic volume devoted to #limitarianism: the idea that using #economic or #ecosystem resources should not exceed certain limits. This concept has deep roots in #economic and #political thought.
One can find similar statements of such limits in thinkers such as #Plato, #Aquinas, and #Spinoza. But this book is the first time in contemporary #political #philosophy that #limitarianism is explored at length and in detail.
Including some of the key published articles as well as new chapters, 'Having Too Much' is necessary reading for scholars and students of #politicaltheory and #philosophy, as well as anyone interested in questions of #distributivejustice.

The “playing field” isn’t level, there is an oversupply of talent and the methods for determining #merit are often winner-take-all, the social determinants of merit often don’t line up with objective criteria of merit; and the methods for determining merit aren’t robustly sensitive to desert.
