And inheritance is one of the biggest source of inequalities hence why Piketty proposes a massive tax on inheritance to be redistributed equally as a universel basic inheritance to young people. There are hard core scientific papers behind it but this is a popularized article I have found: https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/fairer-taxes-and-inheritance-for-all-the-economic-plans-of-star-economist-piketty/. Problem is inheritance is an extremely touchy topic, most people have the deeply rooted instinct to give everything to there children and can't think rationally about it.
If we saturate the advertisement sphere with photos of trust fund inheritance boys in pastel rompers and bow ties we can finally put an end to this nonsense
