Description

Inheritance and Wealth Inequality in Britain examines the marked inequalities shaping modern Britain's wealth distribution through detailed evidence on inherited versus self-made fortunes. Originally published in 1979, this Routledge Revivals edition represents the first major study since Wedgwood's 1929 pioneering work, offering essential insights into generational wealth transfer and economic justice. Based on over fifteen years of research tracking successive generations of the wealthy, this book provides empirical analysis of how inheritance perpetuates wealth concentration in Britain. It addresses ongoing debates about inequality, social mobility, and the mechanisms through which family wealth influences economic outcomes across generations, making it vital for economists, policymakers, and scholars studying macroeconomic trends and distributional questions.

Key Features

Inheritance and Wealth Inequality in Britain draws on fifteen years of research examining successive generations of wealthy families and their asset accumulation patterns.

Originally published in 1979, this Routledge Revivals edition brings foundational economic research to contemporary readers interested in wealth distribution debates.

The book provides empirical evidence comparing the relative significance of inherited wealth versus self-made fortunes in shaping Britain's economic structure.

This macroeconomics study contributes to current scholarly debates on justice, inequality, and the intergenerational transmission of economic advantage.
