📚 Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth by Ingrid Robeyns is an ethical framework advocating for limiting excess wealth and redistributing to the benefit of wider society. The book builds its case by historically analyzing the rise of inequality over the past 50 years through global neoliberal policy; the social problems that inequality cause or exacerbate; how taking a Limitarian stance could improve things for everyone including the wealthy; and what needs to be done to get there.

4.5 rounded up. Some plotholes and cliches but excellent narrator sells it. Before even finishing I got the rest of the series. Been a while since I read a rollicking fantasy like this. Definitely reminiscent of Locke Lamora.

Currently at the airport getting ready to leave Taiwan for Japan. It has been a great trip. I have learned a bunch, and had my curiosity piqued even more. If anyone has any recent book recommendations on Taiwanese identity formation in the past decade, please let me know!
