📢#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.

"Bij 2,2 miljoen euro ligt dan het omslagpunt. Dan vindt zeker tweederde van de ondervraagden dat nóg meer rijkdom niets meer toevoegt. En het is het punt waarop mensen – als ze moeten kiezen voor meer geld naar publieke voorzieningen als de zorg, of een lagere belasting op grote vermogens – steevast voor het eerste kiezen.’ Vrij vertaald: bij 2,2 miljoen ligt voor de Nederlanders de grens voor te rijk."

Hi - here's my #introduction! I am an academic - trained as a political philosopher and economist, but developed into an interdisciplinary thinker on normative questions. I hold the Chair Ethics of Institutions at Utrecht University. I want to know how a better society could look like, and what changes are needed to move in that direction. I am currently writing a book on #limitarianism, forthcoming with Allen Lane/Penguin in the UK and Astra House in the US.
