Fathers and Nepotism In A New Light

As we discuss fatherhood we will review some new and revised thinking about Nepotism.

As Adam Bellow states in his Book "In Praise Of Nepotism" :
"People who feel there's something missing in their family relationships are right: sons often complain they don't feel close enough to their fathers, and there's a reason-they are no longer on the veldt learning to hunt and trap game or working together in a craft or business. Without such shared pursuits, fathers have less occasion to teach their children about life and get the satisfaction that goes with it." Bellow feels that "emulating dynastic families would be a good way to overcome some of the biggest problems and dissatisfactions of modern life."

Stuart E. Lucas in his book "Wealth" seems to put yet another positive spin on Nepotism as he discusses a "Nepotistic Advantage".









If family is important, then have an important family.
