"So just take Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, put them on an island - full of coconuts and bananas so they won't die - and let us see how rich they will become. It's obvious that they can't become rich.

So that means that what we all together, and also previous generations, are ... making and upholding and contributing to, is what also enables them to become so wealthy."

Q: 'How much is TOO much?' Netherlands' Economics Professor #IngridRobeyns, #UniversityUltrecht launches the global conversation in her new book, #LIMITARIANISM the Case Against Extreme Wealth (Allen Lane, 2024). 'The gross decadence of private wealth, the ultra-rich, has a devastating effect on poverty gaps, inequity, social cohesion and the environment', she argues. Limitless private billionaires are an economic question the World needs to tackle.

Hollandsk professor går til angreb på overdreven rigdom

I stedet for at stræbe efter, at ingen er fattige, bør vi sørge for, at ingen er for rige, mener Ingrid Robeyns. I ny bog forsøger den hollandske professor at forklare hvordan. Men vigtige spørgsmål forbliver ubesvaret

Hoeveel mag een mens verdienen? En hoeveel verdient hij echt? #VPROTegenlicht interviewde Ingrid Robeyns die vindt dat niemand het verdient om multimiljonair te zijn: https://www.duurzaamnieuws.nl/vpro-tegenlicht-waarom-niemand-het-verdient-om-multimiljonair-te-zijn/ #tegenlicht #ingridrobeyns #limitarisme #belasting
VPRO Tegenlicht: Waarom niemand het verdient om multimiljonair te zijn

De realiteit is dat er door zeer vermogende mensen bijzonder veel politieke invloed wordt gekocht en het voor politieke partijen steeds lastiger wordt vol te houden dat er geen sprake is van belangenverstrengeling. En dat is problematisch.
