"Limitarism", this idea that aims to end ultrarichness in the name of democracy

The growing wealth disparity in France is becoming a central issue for the 2027 presidential campaign, with calls to tax the rich. The concept of "limitarism," proposed by Ingrid Robeyns, argues for a moral limit on wealth accumulation to protect democracy and public resources. This idea, rooted in ancient philosophy, suggests that excessive wealth can undermine societal cohesion and lead to oligarchy. Historical figures like Plato and Aristotle warned against the dangers of wealth inequality, emphasizing the need for balance to maintain stability in society.
