Has the Bank of Mum and Dad broken Britain?

• Get 20% off annual Patreon support for The Bunker in our Black Friday sale. The perfect gift to ask for!

If you’re under 45 the only way you’ll buy a home is with help from the Bank of Mum and Dad. What is the increasing power of family wealth doing to Britain? Far from intergenerational inequality, is inTRAgenerational inequality creating a Britain of haves and never-will-haves? Are we entering a Jane Austen world where money marries money? And is it all the Boomers’ fault? 

Eliza Filby, author of Inheritocracy: It’s Time to Talk About the Bank of Mum and Dad, joins regulars Hannah Fearn and Andrew Harrison to talk about Britain’s new Parent Trap.
