Johann Kurtz (Becoming Noble) - Leaving a Legacy

from Gentleman Speculator · host Andrew Flattery

I speak with with the semi-pseudonymous Johann Kurtz on his terrific new book Leaving a Legacy: Inheritance, Charity, & Thousand-Year Families. Johann lays out the foundation for why it can be moral to leave an inheritance when pared with virtue. We talk how ‘Die with Zero’ misses the mark, why true charity is necessarily multi-generational, family business as a conduit for generational continuity, and what J.K. Rowling instinctively understands about the re-enchantment of the world. Intro/Outro: Legends of the Fall Main Theme - James Horner This is a public episode.
