Will Self discusses how the pandemic has affected our views of inheritance.

Will Self discusses how the pandemic has affected our views of legacy - what's worth passing on to future generations... and what isn't.

Will Self on why a novelty bottle opener - with little plastic seahorses floating in an acrylic handle - is his idea of a perfect inheritance. 
"The security that financial inheritance may convey is merely relative - and divisive,"  he writes.  
So, instead, Will suggests leaving behind something ordinary....and useful.  

Producer:  Adele Armstrong
