The author's daughter talks about nepotism a lot. She'll help me out on research for like this show, or for freconomics radio. And honestly, i love working with her. I think she's really good at it. The part where you said it's a good thing to be concerned with the appearance of fairness. It's like annoying to me sometimes, virtue signalling in general.
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?
