    Seems weird: Most threads are questions, not discussions....

    Is Capitalism the Root of Inequality?

    You are incorrect. At the very least they show an implicit relationship between intergenerational mobility and education, though I don't think that is the only cause.

    Share & Discuss Random Physics & Math News: Where to Start?
