How, and to what extent, future generations should be considered is an important issue in political philosophy. This presentation offers an argument for the proper method of consideration to ensure intergenerational fairness. The goal of the presentation is to make explicit what is meant by "intergenerational fairness," then to elaborate on how such a definition is both important and obtainable. The conclusion reached is that a progressive tax on the unilateral transfer of property (e.g. bequeathal, gift, etc.) may adequately provide for intergenerational fairness.
