Synopsis

Wealth By Birth explores the significant yet often unseen impacts of inherited wealth on individuals and society. It argues that inherited wealth isn't just financial; it's a system of advantages affecting access to education, social networks, and opportunities. The book traces the evolution of inheritance laws and wealth accumulation, revealing how legal frameworks have historically shaped wealth distribution. For example, systems like primogeniture concentrated wealth, while others promoted broader distribution. The book investigates how inherited wealth translates into tangible advantages, like access to elite schools and valuable social connections, which compound over time. This perpetuates cycles of wealth and privilege, impacting social mobility and economic opportunity. Examining economic history and utilizing data analysis, the book offers a unique perspective by focusing on the systemic nature of inherited advantage, rather than individual cases. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, Wealth By Birth begins by defining key concepts and then delves into the historical roots of wealth accumulation, legal frameworks, and the impact on education and careers. It concludes by proposing policy interventions to mitigate wealth inequality. With its accessible tone and blend of historical analysis and economic insight, the book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of inequality.

Crosses of Iron - The Tragic...

Nick Pappas, Richard Melzer

In October 1913, 261 miners and two rescuers died when a massive explosion ripped through a mine operated by Phelps, Dodge & Company in Dawson, New Mexico. Ten years later, a second blast claimed the lives of another 120 miners. Today, Dawson is a deserted ghost town. All that remains is a sea of white iron crosses memorializing the nearly four hundred miners killed in the two explosions—a death toll unmatched by mine disasters in any other town in America. 
 
 
 
Now, to mark the centennial of the second disaster, veteran journalist Nick Pappas tells the tragic story of what was once New Mexico's largest and most modern company town and of how the strong, determined residents of the community coped with two heartbreaking catastrophes.

Jews in the Garden - A Holocaust...

Judy Rakowsky

Villages of Poland hide the lost secrets of World War II 
 
 
 
1944: Heavy footfalls thud on the road on a rainy May night. A band of gunmen scour a hilltop farm, acting on rumors that it harbors a Jewish family. For 18 months, the Rozeneks have been hiding safely, but their luck is about to run out. Only one from the family of six will live to see the sunrise. Sixteen-year-old Hena Rozenek shelters in the woods until morning . . . and then she runs. 
 
 
 
Forty years later: Holocaust survivor Sam Rakowski Ron has lived in the United States for decades, never thinking he could return to the Polish village he fled as a teenager. But now he's ready to talk about what he heard, what he saw, and what he knows about two separate families of cousins who were his neighbors, and presumably were killed during the war. The story Poland presents to the world is that Poles saved more Jews than citizens of any other nation, that any murders in Poland were committed by Nazis and Nazis alone. But Sam, while defending his countrymen, suspects a painful truth. The stories he shares with his younger cousin, Judy, an investigative journalist, send them off on a decades-long journey unlike any other to find out what happened to the Rozenek family and ultimately reveal the secrets the Polish government is still desperate to keep.
