If you're serious about alleviating poverty, as most liberals claim to be, should there be a cap on how wealthy one person can be?

To discuss this, Ash sat down with Ingrid Robeyns, author of 'Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth.' -

They talk about why she’s reluctant to call herself a communist, a wealth cap on nations and why many of us in the global north are living on stolen money.

Professor Ingrid Robeyns works on issues in contemporary political philosophy and applied ethics, and holds the Chair in Ethics of Institutions at the Ethics Institute of Utrecht University. She is specialized in applied and "non-ideal" ethics and political philosophy, and in interdisciplinary and synthetic research, as well as in the development of normative frameworks, theories, and methods that are needed to do this kind of research. In March 2022, she was awarded the highest personal research grant by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (the 'Vici' grant), which will enable her to set up a research team to study the ethical and political-philosophical structure of visions for the future.
