Speaker:: Ingrid Robeyns, Professor of Ethics of Institutions at Utrecht University, Netherlands
Venue:: 32L 1.04 1st Floor Conference Room, LSE, 32 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PH

Part of the Climate Change, Inequality and Social Policy seminar series 2017/18

This seminar will present the argument that it is not morally permissible to have more resources than are needed to fully flourish in life. It is instrumentally necessary to limit ‘riches’ above this level to protect political equality and to meet urgent needs. Some indications are given on how such a riches line might be defined.
