"Building on his previous work, The Transformative Power of Family Wealth is packed with insight and offers wealth owners powerful tools for channeling their resources into a force for good. Must reading not only for those stewards of family wealth, but for all those striving to serve them." "Philip’s book is a very worthwhile read for those who work with wealthy families. In particular, the paradigm of the Theory of Change as a mechanism to help to shape a succession planning strategy is fascinating. It is also refreshing to read a positive exposition of the role that private businesses can play in regenerating society." John Riches, Partner RMW Law and President of the International Academy of Estate and Trust Lawyers "With his extensive experience and deep insights, Philip’s latest book is required reading, not only for wealthy families and their advisors, but also for policy makers and thinkers as they ponder the role of wealthy families in tomorrow’s world." In The Transformative Power of Family Wealth, retired lawyer, wealth advisor, and tax consultant Philip Marcovici delivers a startlingly insightful and practical discussion of how family wealth and business owners can navigate internal and external challenges and have a positive and benevolent impact on the communities around them. For governments navigating the challenges and benefits of attracting and retaining wealth owners to their countries, an invaluable resource.
