The Kennedy Dynastic Family Model
In his excellent book "In Praise Of Nepotism" author Adam Bellow credits Joseph Kennedy as being "the greatest American nepotist of the 20th century". The author is frank in saying that Joe Kennedy had some "unattractive" qualities. In addition the author admits that "Joe Kennedy's dynastic enterprise illuminates the darker side of nepotism: the fruit of an erotic drive so strong that it destroys the thing it loves."
In examining Joe Kennedy Adam Bellow concludes that "No one teaches these methods or skills"
In my opinion, Adam Bellow has taken the first step and become our teacher. His work "In Praise of Nepotism" provides us with the models to use and the author does a good job of observing the strategies that work, while pointing out the excesses to be avoided.
I have concluded that the Adam Bellow is correct about Joe Kennedy's greatness as a nepotist. Therefore: we would be wise to use him as a model.
