Josiah Wedgwood argues that the perpetuation of large fortunes through inheritance is one of the primary drivers of economic inequality, challenging the prevailing assumption that free markets naturally tend toward equitable outcomes. Drawing on extensive statistical data and historical evidence, the work details the mechanisms by which capital accumulation compounds privilege over time, entrenching class divisions rather than dissolving them. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible conviction, it makes a compelling case for inheritance taxation and wealth redistribution as essential tools of a just society. A foundational text for anyone seeking to understand the structural roots of inequality, it remains as provocative and relevant today as when it first appeared.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839384301787,"sku":"2026770001925-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/49d9e58e-a827-41e5-9a43-ada77131b65b.png?v=1780561168","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001925-secondhand-the-economics-of-inheritance","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
