Inheritocracy

Biteback – 2024

I designed the cover for historian Eliza Filby first book.

Many of us grew up believing in a meritocracy, where hard work brings rewards – but the reality is that life chances are no longer shaped by what we learn or earn but by whether we have access to the Bank of Mum and Dad. We’re living in an inheritocracy, where parental support is what matters most – whether that’s covering the cost of university, stumping up for a house deposit or helping with childcare. And we need to talk about it.
