Actually location is the most important indicative of success in life. So if you were born in the USA you already won such a lottery that it completely dwarfs the rest of influences on your chances of success.
As to rich parents - that can't be an important indicator, just by considering how many more rich people are in the current generation compared to the previous one: who helped them?!
- WalterBright 5y agoI am indeed talking about living in a free country, like the USA. Communist societies actively destroy anyone who is successful.
- DarylZero 5y ago> how many more rich people are in the current generation compared to the previous one Fewer isn't it? There is _increasing_ inequality. Anyway, it's structural, whether the social systems deliver the economic product to a smaller number or larger number of people. It's not down to differences between individuals receiving or not receiving the product.
