Inheritance ethics

The ethical questions raised by receiving unearned wealth from ancestors while others begin with nothing: does it create unfair advantage, what obligation does it impose, and how do we reconcile it with meritocratic ideals? Inheritance reveals that capitalism rests partly on luck and historical accident, not purely on effort and virtue.
