3.75. this was comprehensive, information packed, and an overall necessary book. i can’t say i learned a ton of new information but it did offer some unique new perspectives that i found useful. the audiobook was fairly engaging so i recommend listening if you’re gonna pick this up!

oh my god.. outstanding!!!! this has now replaced my favourite book of all time; completely soul crushing but so so well written in a way that encapsulates everything that is wrong with extreme wealth. the book talks in practical terms about how much money is too money and really is the closest i think anything comes to allowing people to grasp the concept of a billion of something. this book is gonna stick with me for a very long time and i cant wait to badger everyone who cares for me into reading. phenomenal.

I was so excited to read this book, completely sold by the introduction, but then let down by the actual contents of it. If you regularly read the news and you’re somewhat politically active then you probably wont learn much. It’s all very surface level, which is really disappointing, as I was expecting a more in-depth look into possible policies and business models (like cooperatives) that could be introduced. At times I was even confused about who this book was written for - is it an ethics lesson for the ultra rich maybe??
Another reviewer described this as naive, and I totally agree. I was looking forward to chapters like ‘The rich will benefit too’, but how is the idea that ‘pitchforks won’t come out’ a genuine benefit of Limitarianism for the rich? I almost laughed, it was so ridiculous
