Huges Jr. to family wealth management. It is the only book I have found that addresses wealth management in holistic and systemic manner. James Hughes makes sure from the very beginning of the book that the reader understands that: "A family's wealth consists primarily of its human capital (defined as all the individuals who make up the family) and its intellectual capital (defined as everything that each individual member knows), and secondary of its financial capital." I find fascinating that in a world where every single thing tends to be quantified and often reduced to its monetary market value, a famous specialist in coaching families on how to preserve their wealth begins by saying that the financial capital is SECONDARY to the physical and emotional well being, the ability to pursue happiness and the education/knowledge of EACH of the family members. The author goes on to say that every family he has observed was successful in preserving its wealth when it followed "the five virtues of truth: BEAUTY, GOODNESS, COMMUNITY and COMPASSION" (capital letters are mine). "Families who preserve their wealth successfully", says James Hughes, "reflect these virtues in their relationships both with family members and with all persons outside the family. I am convinced that without this spiritual component a family cannot succeed in preserving itself, since its values system will fail and with that failure will come its disintegration." I could give a workshop only about the immense value of this book, but I am aware that desertcart customers would rather read the book itself, rather than read a long review about it. I would like to end my review by pointing to what is, in my opinion, one of the crucial issues in family wealth preservation: the family governance. James Hughes has the brilliant idea of using Aristotel's description of various forms of government: aristocracy/kingship/queenship; oligarchy; democracy; and dictatorship. In my own work with family members who have difficulties relating to each other, and consequently fail to preserve their wealth, I am very much interested hearing the answer to the following question: what is the form of governance used in your family? In conclusion, I highly recommend James Hughes' "Family Wealth-Keeping It in the Family". It is a source of inspiration for all families, as well as for counselors, consultants and executive coaches. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,978 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Finance (Books) #119 in Investing (Books) #211 in Economics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (382) | | Dimensions | 5.8 x 1.2 x 8.4 inches | | Edition | 2nd, Revised and Expanded | | ISBN-10 | 157660151X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1576601518 | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | June 1, 2004 | | Publisher | Bloomberg Press | ## Images ![Family Wealth: Keeping It in the Family--How Family Members and Their Advisers Preserve Human, Intellectual, and Financial Assets for Generations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AnFWAjrLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must to read as a parent *by J***S on January 22, 2026* Good info ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO FAMILY GOVERNANCE *by C***E on April 6, 2012* As member of a family that is spread on three continents (North America, Europe, and South America), as well as a professional who works on restoring communication and relationship, I highly appreciate and recommend the integrative, intelligent and compassionate approach of James E.
