Currently listening on my cycling to the excellent #inheritocracy by Dr Eliza Filby. I knew the maths, the societal impact is more insidious.

A real eye-opener where #Inheritocracy author Eliza Filby explains how loans, gifts and wills from the Bank of Mum & Dad are taking is back to a Jane Austen world of dynastic wealth for a few… and zilch for everyone else.

Good article from @theguardian.com
On the #inheritocracy.

I once calculated it would take someone (in the UK) in the top 1% of income 31 years to save enough to be in the top 1% of wealth (assuming they saved a little over half their salary)

Inheritocracy is must-read.
