I’ve thought a fair amount about the ethics surrounding wealth and the acquisition of wealth. My friend Roy’s look at this book on this subject gives me a lot to think about.
“Leaving a Legacy: An important new book by Johann Kurtz”.
When I think about the wealthy (and other community leaders) I admire, there’s a grace and decorum attached. I don’t admire, much less respect, the bellicose bullying that many with privilege resort to.
I’ve known Roy for years and always find his insights worthwhile. So, not only do I recommend this specific Substack post, but I’d also recommend subscribing.
The apparent ongoing concentration of wealth in the hands of relatively few people certainly suggests that there is a core target audience for the book.
Nevertheless, for someone who’s on the fringe of the target audience, or perhaps being beyond the fringe is a more accurate description, it made me wish I could pass on more wisdom to my children.
I also wondered if any exemplars were highlighted with examples of their achievements for the community.
Thank you Carl.
Do well and be good.

good review and the topic of overly wealthy affluent is not a new one, and sure not a topic that will ever get talked about enough.
enjoyed your sharing of this review
Thanks for reading!
