CMV: nepotism is fine outside of government and publicly traded corporations

the reason why nepotism is bad inside government and publicly traded corporations is that the person who gets the job is rarely, if ever, the best person for the job. when a person is appointed to a position of authority and control because they are family or close friends, there is damage done to the owners. in the case of the nation, the person is doing damage to the taxpayers. in the case of publicly traded corporations, the damage is done to the stockholders.

that is not the case in a privately owned business or in trades. preferring family and close friends is good for you, your family, and your culture. it is good for your family because it provides your offspring with what they need to be successful. it is good for your culture because it gives everyone in the community an additional reason to be close and to share.

>good for you

To the extent that you care about the success of your business, it may not be good for you since, as you point out, you may not be hiring the person most qualified for the job. Managing a family member also comes with its own set of potential difficulties which may cause you more stress.

>good for your family

Combining work and family can often cause rifts and broken relationships. Certainly it works for some, but it is devastating for others. Having a falling out with an employee or business partner is a whole lot more complicated when they are also your family.

>good for your culture

Nepotism encourages complacence, because people have a opportunities without actually having to have earned it.
