Culture can evolve. We have a very selfist culture. It is possible to evolve a culture that values the common good for more than our society does.

There are many parents who don't pass on anything to their children beyond what they did to get them to adulthood, believing the best thing to bequeath your child is a solid upbringing and strong sense of responsibility, independence rather than entitlement and dependence. And there are many children, like myself, who want no inheritance, who even think it immoral to take any.
