Generational Wealth Shift

The book is structured in three parts, beginning with defining and quantifying wealth transfers using economic data and sociological frameworks. It then presents case studies illustrating how these transfers operate in different socioeconomic contexts, ranging from vast estates to families struggling with basic needs. Finally, the book examines policy implications, suggesting potential reforms in areas like taxation and education.

A key insight is the explicit consideration of intangible inheritances, such as social networks, which are typically overlooked in economic models but play a crucial role in shaping an individual's economic trajectory. This comprehensive analysis combines quantitative data with qualitative insights to offer a fresh perspective on wealth inequality. By exploring the impact of inheritance on social mobility and examining policy levers that could promote greater equality of opportunity, the book provides valuable insights for policymakers, economists, and anyone concerned about social equity.
