A New Way to Think About Inheritance

2 min read

Is inherited wealth a powerful tool or a destructive influence? David York thinks it can be both, depending on how you define and use it.

York is a lawyer who specialises in estate planning, taxation, business planning, and non-profit organisations.

In this thought-provoking TED Talk, he argues that we need to stop envisioning intergenerational wealth transfers in purely financial terms and start thinking about them as opportunities to share values and connections to the next generation.

He uses Walt Disney and Steve Jobs as examples, discussing their family's rich values and ideas and how they turned those legacies into monumental successes that make the world a better place.
