Description

Modern Britain faces significant challenges regarding the distribution of wealth, a topic that continues to drive intense debate and controversy. This Routledge Revival edition brings back a foundational study that examines the tension between inherited and self-made wealth. Originally published in 1979, this work serves as a major contribution to discussions on justice and inequality. It provides a deep look into how wealth is passed through generations, offering detailed evidence that helps clarify the economic landscape of the country. The study is built on more than fifteen years of research into successive generations of wealthy families, making it a significant academic resource. As the first major work in its field since the pioneering studies of 1929, this book offers a unique perspective on the economic structures that shape society. It is an essential read for those studying macroeconomics, social justice, and the history of wealth distribution in Britain.
