Do you think family farms should not be passed to children? Or where would you draw the line?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think inheritance should be allowed. I just think there should be restrictions on how they participate in the market.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not talking about inheritance though. I'm talking about when a farm takes on a family member as the new management. Because that's literally nepotism.

(Without getting too much into semantics, isn't headhunting a new boss at a company a type of nepotism? As in, there wasn't a competitive process, they were hand-picked by the board / CEO. Is "nepotism" only meant specifically where someone's incompetence is overlooked because of family relationship? If they're actually the best person for the job is that still nepotism?)

How about instead of trying to poke holes and narrowing your argument down to the exact exchange in a different implementation of capitalism that we see here in the US and consider the actual question.

Would have been nice if the question mentioned the US then...
