In our latest Mishcon Academy Digital Session Dr Eliza Filby explored the emergence of the ‘Inheritocracy’ - a system where inherited wealth, connections, and privilege increasingly dictated outcomes, challenging the long‑held ideal of meritocracy.
Drawing on her latest book, a blend of memoir and cultural commentary, Dr Filby examined the societal consequences of this shift and its impact on social mobility, including the growing role of the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ in shaping future opportunity and economic justice.
