And do you not think that this is a function of how much capital one has access to in the first place? Leaving aside the research showing how poverty affects development, those born to families with wealth will have both more knowledge of how to interact with capital and more access to capital in general.
You seem to be both acknowledging that there is a stacked deck and claiming that there is a level playing field where everyone can achieve their true potential.
- debacle 8y agoThere is no stacked deck. No one cheated because they have business savvy parents or friends. Everyone can go to busines school, or learn things the hard way. The knowledge is there, and the people who have great enough desire find it. Teaching it universally would be a great social good.
