La colección de ensayos recogida en este volumen comprende gran parte de la literatura de alto nivel sobre una nueva perspectiva en el campo de la teoría política: el limitarismo. En ella se discuten, a fondo y desde diversas perspectivas, cuestiones sobre la posibilidad de justificar la imposición de límites en la riqueza, partiendo de los enfoques principales desde los que se han abordado áreas como la justicia, la teoría democrática, la historia de las ideas, el republicanismo y las políticas medioambientales. Este libro es un precioso recurso tanto para aquellos académicos que tratan la teoría política y ámbitos relacionados como para un público no especialista, interesado en el fenómeno y los problemas asociados a la concentración de la riqueza.
