We asked listeners to share their experiences with nepotism. Here's what you said: I don't think the problem was nepotism so much as poor management skills. When my dad was a kid, his aunt was in the spelling bee and she got "neptotism" She then proceeded to spell incorrectly and kicked out of the spelling bee. My dad consoled her afterwards by saying that he could always work for him.
How does the profitability of family firms stack up against the rest? Has nepotism become more taboo over time? And why are 90 percent of adoptees in Japan not children but adults?
