Description

"It has been estimated that 80 percent of household wealth in the United States is derived from inheritance. This is the first study of now Americans over three centuries- from the 1700s to the 1980s- have distributed that wealth. The authors focus on the relationship between the inheritance process and changes in capitalism and the structure of the family." FINE- SOFTCOVER
