- humanrebar 13y agoThat's not a paradox. It's a misunderstanding of incentives for people of all classes.
- owenmarshall 13y agoI'd agree - I guess it's considered paradoxical as it surprises economists that expect a correlation between birth rates & economic means. It's really more that economics doesn't properly serve as a predictor of human behavior (news at 11! ;-))
