July was a month where I didn’t read (or at least didn’t finish) a lot of books. Only one non-audiobook. I’m still ‘behind’ my random target now at the end of September.

Interessant artikel in Trouw over het nieuwe boek van Van Loenen De babyboomerbiljoenen, geïnspireerd op Inheritocracy van de Britse historicus Eliza Filby. Zij zocht uit dat jonge mensen in het Verenigde Koninkrijk steeds afhankelijker zijn van het vermogen van hun ouders.

Waarom juist de VVD volgens deze liberaal méér belasting op het eigen huis moet heffen: ‘Alleen met werken creëer je meer welvaart’
Nederlanders zouden meer belasting moeten betalen over hun erfenis en het eigen huis, vindt econoom en publicist Jona van Loenen. Maar hebben ouders dan niet hard gewerkt om dat vermogen aan hun kinde...

The one word missing from the story about half of young people being behind on at least one bill is inheritocracy: in the UK, a comfortable life increasingly depends on how much support your family can provide.
For many people, wealth is built through inheritance rather than income.

Prof Gallow is rich. His position on wealth taxes is self-serving. Gary does an excellent job of pointing this out. If we don't tax wealth, it will always grow faster than the economy, and so inequality will always grow. Badly designed wealth taxes are an argument for Well designed wealth taxes.

Extremely interesting! I think this is well aligned with Andreas Cervenka's "Girig Sverige" (which recently became a hit in Sweden), as well as with Eliza Filby's "Inheritocracy". Assets are very easy to pass on from one generation to the next, which creates its own problems.
