It’s All Relative
Making sense of a changing world
I’m Dr Eliza Filby, a historian of the present and Sunday Times bestselling author of Inheritocracy.
It’s All Relative is my weekly Substack newsletter and YouTube show where I make sense of the changes reshaping how we work, earn, parent, love and live.
The scripts we were sold growing up are being rewritten.
The old assumptions don’t quite work anymore. Get a good job, buy a home, start a family, work hard, retire.
That path was never true for everyone, but for many it has become increasingly difficult, delayed or simply irrelevant.
You can’t talk about housing without talking about family. You can’t talk about family without talking about wealth and inheritance. You can’t talk about AI without talking about work, education and childhood.
Each week, I take one of the big questions shaping our lives and follow the connections.
Nothing happens in isolation. It’s All Relative.
