Erbe als Verantwortung

Growing up in a wealthy family may seem like a stroke of luck. However, the next generation of heirs and family entrepreneurs must prove themselves, not least to themselves. No one wants to be known solely as the son or daughter of someone. How do they manage to put their own stamp on the family fortune? How do they maintain peace with their siblings, even when those siblings pursue entirely different life paths? How do they educate themselves to become responsible investors? What do they tell their friends about why they can suddenly afford a house or an apartment? And do they actually find it fair that they will be wealthy without having earned it themselves? By addressing these questions related to wealth transfer, "Heir as Responsibility" focuses on the succeeding generation. This book is a continuation of "On Money and Values" (NZZ Libro 2019), which centers on the preparation of the transferring generation for their descendants.
