Inheritocracy wer. angielska - Eliza Filby - książka
Producent: Wh Allen
Many of us grew up with the notion of a meritocracy, believing that diligence and education would lead to success. The common advice was to attend university, secure a job, and dedicate yourself fully, assuring a prosperous future. However, the truth now seems different. Today, life chances are more influenced by access to family wealth, particularly from the so-called "Bank of Mum and Dad." We live in what can be termed an inheritocracy, where financial support from parents plays a crucial role—whether it's funding higher education, contributing to a home purchase, or assisting with childcare expenses. This reality is often uncomfortable to discuss openly among peers, relatives, or even within broader society; it has become a modern taboo. In her insightful book, Eliza Filby, an expert on generational dynamics, investigates this shift towards inheritocracy by sharing her personal experiences. She examines how her family's financial status impacted aspects of her life, such as her education, career, and even her social class. "Inheritocracy" offers a compelling mix of memoir and cultural analysis, brought to life through Eliza's witty and perceptive narrative. With enormous wealth poised to be transferred across generations in the coming twenty years, a significant disparity is emerging between those who can depend on family inheritance and those who cannot. This book provides a refreshing and honest exploration of our recent history and the future, which will inevitably be influenced, for better or worse, by family wealth.
