Chapter of: Tener Demasiado: Ensayos Filosóficos sobre el Limitarismo(pp. 17–68)
Este capítulo es una reimpresión de lo que se ha convertido en el artículo germinal sobre el limitarismo. Tras exponer la distinción entre el limitarismo intrínseco y el instrumental, la primera parte desarrolla dos argumentos a favor del limitarismo: el argumento democrático y el argumento de las necesidades básicas insatisfechas. La segunda parte desarrolla una concepción teórica del “poder de los recursos materiales”, que es la métrica en la que deberíamos poner la línea de riqueza. Después, se discute la distinción entre el limitarismo como una doctrina moral y como una doctrina política. El capítulo concluye respondiendo a dos objeciones contra el limitarismo.
