Family Wealth - Keeping It in the Family
The landmark book that changed the way exceptional families think about their heritage, their wealth, and their legacy to future generations - now revised and expanded.
James Hughes has guided multiple generations of families in creating strategies to preserve their human and intellectual capital as well as their financial assets. His teachings synthesize insights from psychology, anthropology, political history, philosophy, economic theory and the law.
The first edition of this book became a word-of-mouth classic. Now Hughes has updated and substantially expanded it with new chapters that challenge conventional notions of wealth and that offer guidelines for conserving family assets in the broadest sense.
