Your view about each generation tending to fully 'break' with their parents, in a way (economically, spiritually) strikes me as particularly narrow. Perhaps it is so where you live, but this is simply not true for vast populations all over the world.
Most populations in the world: Latin America, China, India, Japan, Koreas, the muslims and the jews, and more.
However, I think the grandparent post refered to Great Britain since the paper in question is english.
You've just named three of the top global cultures for transfer of intergenerational wealth down the patriarchal line.
:/ Yes, I was agreeing with the parent post, which disagreed with the grandparent post:
"Your view about each generation tending to fully 'break' with their parents, in a way *strikes me as particularly narrow*. "
I then added examples of vast populations where sons don't isolate from their parents.
