About this audiobook
Leaving your children money is easy. Leaving them a family capable of surviving it is the work of a lifetime.
Almost every fortune dies within three generations — not because the heirs go bad, but because the discipline that built the money never travels with it. You can wire assets in an instant. You cannot wire judgment.
The Family Wealth System is the field guide to the one defense that has to keep working after you’re gone. In twelve sharp, story-driven chapters, it shows you how to turn a pile of assets into something that outlives you: trusts that protect the money without ruining the people who inherit it, estate plans that spare your family a war, governance and a family constitution that keep love and money from destroying each other, and heirs trained to carry wealth instead of be crushed by it.
A family once richer than the U.S. Treasury went broke in three generations. Yours doesn’t have to.
Read it before you write a single check.
