Limiting Wealth

Why Excess is a Political Problem

The Sky is the Limit—But What if the Sky is Falling?

We live in a world of boundaries. We strictly regulate our driving speeds to keep our roads safe. We cap carbon emissions to save the planet. We even set rigid limits on public deficits and household wages. Rules, ceilings, and boundaries define our shared civilization—except in one place.

There is a frontier where we have allowed the fences to be torn down: the accumulation of extreme wealth.

In Limiting Wealth: Why Excess is a Political Problem, Marcelo Ungarit invites us to look at the cracks in our democratic foundation. While a few individuals amass fortunes that rival the GDP of entire nations, the social fabric that holds us together begins to fray. It is a story of a world out of balance, where the "unlimited" success of a few becomes a silent tax on the liberty and dignity of the many.

This is not just a book about economics; it is a journey through the heart of our political crisis. Ungarit dismantles the modern myth that wealth is a private right with no public cost. He reveals a radical, yet common-sense truth: in a finite world, a society without a ceiling cannot maintain its floor.

Through a compelling narrative that blends political philosophy with the urgent reality of our times, Limiting Wealth challenges us to answer one uncomfortable question:

What does it mean to live well together when economic power no longer has a limit?

Step into the debate that is redefining the future of justice. Because a democracy isn't a democracy if it can be bought, and a world isn't sustainable if it doesn't know when to say "enough."
