> It simply implies that in a case where both have considerable skills and effort, the 'rich kid' will get much farther Well if you assume everything is equal but you give one person more money then, sure, that person has a higher chance of success. But that's missing the point: Many important things are not equal between the two groups, and it doesn't always benefit the wealthier one when it comes to starting companies.
