The inheritance of wealth : justice, equality, and the right to bequeath / Daniel Halliday. by Halliday, Daniel, author. Oxford, United Kingdom : Oxford University Press, 2018. Series:  New topics in applied philosophy. Description:  xi, 235 pages ; 23 cm. Edition:  First edition. Contents:  Introduction -- Inheritance in early liberal writings -- The utilitarian case against iterated bequests -- Inheritance and luck -- Inequality and economic segregation -- Inheritance and the intergenerational replication of inequality -- Libertarianisms -- Taxation. Summary:  Daniel Halliday examines the moral grounding of the right to bequeath or transfer wealth. He engages with contemporary concerns about wealth inequality, class hierarchy, and taxation, while also drawing on the history of the egalitarian, utilitarian, and liberal traditions in political philosophy. He presents an egalitarian case for restricting inherited wealth, arguing that unrestricted inheritance is unjust to the extent that it enables and enhances the intergenerational replication of inequality. Here, inequality is understood in a group-based sense: the unjust effects of inheritance are principally in its tendency to concentrate certain opportunities into certain groups. This results in what Halliday describes as 'economic segregation'. He defends a specific proposal about how to tax inherited wealth: roughly, inheritance should be taxed more heavily when it comes from old money.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 346.052 Hal 2018 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
