> inheritance is for some reason one of the most accepted, but also most obvious examples of unearned wealth. I've been thinking about this Steven Pinker quote for literally decades: "No society can be simultaneously fair, free, and equal. If it is fair, people who work harder can accumulate more. If it is free, people will give their wealth to their children. But then it cannot be equal, for some people will inherit wealth they did not earn."
