Dr. Eliza Filby — historian and author — joins Rory Sutherland and Elfried Samba to examine why inheritance now matters more than income.The conversation explores how the Bank of Mum and Dad has become a private financial system, why wages no longer deliver independence, and how access to family money shapes the risks people can take.It looks at why Gen Z now inhabits a world where work alone no longer leads to security or progress.This episode unpacks what happens when families quietly replace markets and the state as the real source of economic stability.Follow RoryInstagram: @rorysutherland_clipsTikTok: @RorysutherlandclipsX: @rorysutherlandLinkedIn: in/rorysutherland/Follow ElfriedInstagram: elfriedsambaLinkedIn: in/elfriedsamba/https://www.butterflyeffect.xyz/Follow Eliza FilbyTikTok: @eliza_filbyInstagram: @dr_eliza_filbyA Sassy+ original podcast series
