Steven Salerno for the Milken Institute Review

Posted on

Steven Salerno’s series of illustrations for the Milken Institute Review’s article, called “Notes on Forever (Or Not),” adds insight into how the super wealthy navigate the transfer of their wealth forward into the future. They receive considerable help by way of favorable  government policy, but succeeding generations, more often than not, fritter it away.

The Milken Institute Review is published quarterly by the Milken Institute  to encourage discussion of current public policy issues relating to economic growth, job creation, and capital formation.
