This isn’t meant to contradict anything you say about privilege or economic status of parents. In fact kids learn that hard work and contentiousness pay off from their role models, parents, and peers. So successful parents end up having successful kids, and the phenomenon is not explained fully by Dad’s connections. Saying it’s “privilege” is only the beginning of understanding. There are some aspects of personality that parents are imparting to kids, and if you’re interested in helping the rest of the kids, you have to understand what that is.
