This paper proposes a view, called limitarianism, which suggests that
there should be upper limits to the amount of income and wealth a person
can hold. One argument for limitarianism is that superriches can undermine
political equality. The other reason is that it would be better if the
surplus money that superrich households have were to be used to meet unmet
urgent needs and local and global collective action problems. A particular
urgent case of the latter is climate change. The paper discusses one
objection to limitarianism, and draws some conclusions for society, as well
as for the human development paradigm and the capability approach.
