À propos de cet audio
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.

Far Left Manifesto
I set out to read a well articulated left leaning perspective. This work would make Marx proud being full of class conflict, oppressors and the opressed and social engineering culminating with a call to revolution!
if you are looking to justify the activist destruction of property as holding the moral high ground then this book will certainly satisfy.
The author identies herself as a philosopher and economist. On the former, she seems to have skipped the unit on logical fallacies. On the later, she does not seem to understand what money is nor grasp the concept of scarcity creating value.
Many of her arguments are either self defeating or casting her opponents as straw men who's objections are just silly.
There is a choir who will enjoy being preached to but if you are looking for sound rational arguments, you may want to look elsewhere.
To those looking to balance, I suggest Factfullness by Hans Rosling and Social Justice Fallacies by Thomas Sowell.
