Yet many families never succeed in realising that vision, much less sustaining it for three, four, or five generations and beyond. James Hughes has thought deeply about these challenges, and his insights are at once practical and profound. For more than three decades, he has personally guided multiple generations of families in creating strategies to preserve their human and intellectual capital as well as their financial assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis teachings synthesise insights from psychology, anthropology, political history, philosophy, economic theory, and the law, with examples ranging from Aristotle to cutting-edge social science theory.

Filled with tested principles and practices for family governance and joint decision making, it is a rich source of workable wisdom that family members can put into practice today, to the enduring benefit and gratitude of future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868453916908,"sku":"9781576601518","price":85.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/fe6e511bb0143c919368e0af072d9fd6.jpg?v=1759790041"},{"product_id":"complete-family-wealth-by-susan-e-massenzio-9781119820031","title":"Complete Family Wealth","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA primer for families of high net worth on how to manage their qualitative and financial wealth for generations\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of this foundational work, \u003ci\u003eComplete Family Wealth: Wealth as Well-Being\u003c\/i\u003e, provides proven tools and best practices for families of means to use in maturing, maintaining, and managing personal and legacy wealth long into the future.

This book, written by a psychologist, an educator, and a wise counsellor who single-handedly changed the landscape of family wealth, diagnoses with economy and precision the cause of entitlement and dependency.
