In a blog post (link above) dated December 18, 2019, I advocated for an individual wealth limit of 190 million USD (10,000 times the annual world GDP per capita). To my surprise, Ingrid Robeyns professor of Ethics from Utrecht University, recently proposed a more stringent cap, in her recently published book titled 'Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth,'.
She suggests a maximum political accumulation of 10 million euros and, on a personal ethical level, she proposes an even lower limit of 1 million euros. This proposition is grounded in the belief that excessive wealth poses threats to democracy and conflicts with the principles of climate justice. The viability of this thesis was subjected to scrutiny in a lively debate hosted by the London School of Economics https://www.lse.ac.uk/Events/2024/01/202401311830AUD/wealth
