What is the primary socio-economic impact of the resurgence of inherited wealth in Europe, and how does it affect political stability?

In France, the resurgence of inherited wealth has created a significant gap between those who benefit from family assets and those reliant solely on wages, mirroring social injustices depicted in 19th-century novels. This wealth disparity is not unique to France; it's a growing problem across Europe, fueled by regressive tax policies and booming asset markets since the 1980s, which have doubled inherited wealth as a proportion of GDP compared to the mid-20th century.
