The problem of your family isn't that they sold the farm. As you say, it was more profitable for that generation. The problem was they blew all their money on cocaine and hookers (or something else stupid.) That is why now you are not a rich man and must work. Possibly they married poorly and let the foolish mores of the spouse raise their children. Or they simply did not have the values of old money in the first place (as is often the problem of new money.) Thus your path is set for you, if you are still aristocratic enough to follow it. Raise yourself, and your capital, back up, set your children back on the rich path. For your sake hope your blood has not been too corrupted.

Can recommend Growth of the Soil and The Land Breakers. Two of my absolute favorite novels.

sorry for the bad copy

Seconding this choice. If you want a small taste before jumping into the beast, read Tolstoy's short story "Alyosha the Pot."
