1. Introducción a la filosofía del limitarismo

Este capítulo comienza con una descripción de la intuición básica del limitarismo: que puede haber situaciones en las que una persona ha acumulado demasiados recursos materiales. A continuación, hace algunos breves comentarios sobre el reciente surgimiento de esta literatura, así como de su desarrollo. Después, pasa a describir los tres objetivos del volumen: proveer un panorama de la literatura, proponer argumentos novedosos y poner en conversación más directa los debates sobre el limitarismo económico y el limitarismo ecológico. El capítulo concluye discutiendo algunas áreas para investigaciones futuras.
