Īpašums, kredīti un mantojums: radniecības ekonomiskā daba un nevienlīdzība Latvijā
(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte, 2024) Saulītis, Andris; Rolle, Kristīne; Latvijas Universitāte; Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte
In Chapter 7 of the book "Kinship and State Performance in Contemporary Latvia", Andris Saulītis and Kristīne Rolle analyse manifestations of kinship in economic life, especially regarding the transfer of property to future generations. This article demonstrates that the understanding of kinship plays a decisive role in the economic structure of Latvia, as it determines the change in property concentration over time. As the authors of the article show, the current legal system of the country creates prerequisites for property to be concentrated in the hands of a relatively small part of the population, thus making the idea of equal opportunities for all citizens less and less possible with each generation. The authors also lay empirical and theoretical foundations for the argument about the necessity of inheritance tax in Latvia.
