About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately.
In this astonishing, eye-opening intervention, world-leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control. In moral, political, economic, social, environmental and psychological terms, she shows, extreme wealth is not only unjustifiable but harmful to us all - the rich included.
In place of our current system, Robeyns offers a breathtakingly clear alternative: limitarianism. The answer to so many of the problems posed by neoliberal capitalism - and the opportunity for a vastly better world - lies in placing a hard limit on the wealth that any one person can accumulate. Because no-one should have more than ten million, and no one needs more than one million. Not even you.

Hits the nail on the head.
Great in-depth analysis of current world wide economic problems backed up by research and data with possible solutions.
If you are looking for why things are going wrong in the world, this is a great read.

I think it was very interesting from a futuristic view
I loved the narration. More so than the writing which I thought was a little boring, with long sentences. Well explained material though, easy to follow the persons train of thought, but maybe a little bit repetitive at times when it could have been more engaging. May have been some lack of research because the authors own thoughts became so prevalent with exception of some sources from economists. A decent listen/read, but could have been done more exciting and stimulating
