In Molière’s “The Miser”, Harpagon is in the displeasing situation of being surrounded by young people waiting for him to die in order to get at his inheritance and wealth. Yet the distrust of his children and servants is what gives Harpagon the needed energy to live on. But the pressure increases: What happens to the heirs if the old generation simply get older? Harpagon invites for dinner and at the top topic of the table talks is– money and generations.
