And how can a neo-republican political philosophy justify limiting extreme wealth in the name of democratic values?\u003cbr\u003eDiscussing extreme wealth in the context of structural domination, Icardi provides a novel version of neo-republican limitarianism, focusing on how the super-rich structurally dominate politics: both with disproportionate opportunity for political influence, and the capacity to shape social norms and values in their favour. The book first gives a thorough conceptual analysis and normative discussion of plutocracy and non-domination. It then frames neo-republican limitarianism as integral to the idea of a just society, and analyses and compares several fiscal policies (e.g., luxury tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax) as ways to implement such a limit.\u003cbr\u003eWith a significant theoretical contribution to neo-republican thinking and a consideration of a philosophy of non-domination as a tool against plutocracy, this book is an essential reading for those interested in studying how political and applied philosophy explore questions around extreme wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57521563042136,"sku":"9781350520622","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350520622.jpg?v=1781594126","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/extreme-wealth-domination-and-democracy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
