Inheritance in Contemporary America: The Social Dimensions of Giving across Generations (Gerontology)
Examines the complex social dynamics of inheritance and intergenerational financial transfers in contemporary America. It traces the historical evolution of inheritance laws, comparing the U.S. approach to wealth transfer and elder care with that of various European nations. The work highlights the intertwined relationship between health, wealth, and family obligations as the population ages, particularly for the Baby Boom generation. The author also explores the emotional and moral dimensions of gift-giving and bequests, considering how family ideologies and cultural factors influence financial decisions and potential conflicts among heirs. Ultimately, the text emphasizes the growing importance of family support in an aging society facing challenges to traditional retirement security systems like Social Security and Medicare.
