Ingrid Robeyns

Ingrid Robeyns is a Professor of Ethics of Institutions at Utrecht University and a visiting professor at the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE), London School of Economics, a role she began in 2023. Her work sits at the intersection of economics and philosophy, focusing on justice, inequality, and institutional ethics.

Her research centers on the capability approach, economic and wealth inequality, social and distributive justice, and critiques of neoliberal capitalism. She is best known for developing limitarianism—the ethical argument that extreme wealth accumulation (especially beyond £10 million) is unjust and harmful to democracy, climate justice, and social cohesion.

Her recent publications include Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth (2024) and the edited volume Pluralizing Political Philosophy (2025). Her work trends toward integrating ethical frameworks with economic policy, advocating for systemic change grounded in justice and sustainability. She collaborates with CASE on the Extreme Wealth Line project, supported by Patriotic Millionaires UK.
