More and more of the super-rich are equipping themselves with boltholes against calamity. The idea of building bunkers to survive any notional worldwide calamity is by no means new.

Why some inheritance regimes are more unequal than others

Wealth is a big deal: household wealth in Britain has surged in recent decades to over £15tn. And it’s unequal, with wealth inequality twice as high as income inequality. This matters.
