Family Wealth: Keeping It in the Family

James Hughes lays out the principles of managing a family and family capital and offers practical advice. He proposes an original strategy for preserving and growing a family’s human, intellectual, and financial assets by drawing on elements of psychology, anthropology, political history, philosophy, economic theory, and law. Hughes’s ideas have been adopted by many families, consultants, academics, and practitioners—and all of them confirmed the value of the principles and methods developed by the author.

The book is intended for lawyers, economists, family counselors, as well as for everyone interested in the problem of preserving family assets.
