Homosocial reproduction is the transfer of power and values from elder members of a social community to younger members of the same community [Mills & Wolfe, 2000 cited by @2017bonn_beware]. Wealthy, white, male mentors grooming younger, white men to take over business and political projects is an example of homosocial reproduction. This has an, often intended, effect of excluding people marginalized in those communities; for example, women and people of color.
