On Sunday morning, March 24th, the renowned philosopher Ingrid Robeyns will be joining us at Boekhandel Van Piere in Eindhoven for a thought-provoking Filosofiecafé discussing her book "Limitarisme - Pleidooi tegen extreme rijkdom" (Limitarism - Plea against extreme wealth). While it is widely agreed that no one should live in poverty, Robeyns questions whether excessive wealth is equally undesirable. The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, with a small group of super-rich individuals becoming even richer, creating an ever-increasing distance from those who have little to no wealth. Robeyns argues that this moral dilemma cannot be defended and proposes the establishment of limits on the excessive wealth of the super-rich. She believes that extreme wealth poses a threat to democracy and obstructs a sustainable future. Furthermore, she asserts that wealth is rarely a personal achievement but rather a matter of luck. In her passionate argument, Robeyns reveals the principles of limitarism and provides an insight into its practical implications. She advocates for a system where the burden is carried by those who are most capable and inequalities are reduced. The excessive wealth of the super-rich has the potential to benefit both individuals and society as a whole, ultimately benefiting everyone, even the super-rich themselves. The event will begin at 11:00 am with an inloop at 10:30 am and will conclude at 12:00 pm. Tickets for this event are available for the price of €5.59.
