Heirship And Equity

Heirship and Equity explores how inheritance laws and practices impact wealth inequality and social mobility in our world. The book examines the legal concept of heirship, looking at its historical evolution and variations across different legal systems, and also investigates the socio-economic consequences of inherited wealth.

Did you know inheritance laws often reinforce existing inequalities, challenging the idea that inheritance is simply about individual property rights? Another interesting aspect is the concentration of wealth globally, making wealth transfer mechanisms a key factor in societal stratification.

The book argues that current inheritance laws, often seen as neutral, can exacerbate inequalities. It begins by introducing the legal fundamentals of heirship and various inheritance systems, then delves into the socio-economic implications of inherited wealth on income inequality and social mobility, supported by statistical analyses.

Further chapters analyze legal frameworks across different countries, focusing on inheritance tax systems and testamentary freedom. The book concludes with policy reform suggestions to promote more equitable wealth distribution, offering recommendations for policymakers and legal professionals.
