ReplyDeleteThe reality of this article is saddening. The truth is that many people, especially those on the top one percent, will work their way in order to prioritize their progeny's success even if it is ignoring the paradigm of talent and effort. Miles Corak stated that the inequality has increased in the upper working sectors whilst allowing the masses to move on to the top. Somehow, a little bit hypocritical, I find Corak's article accurate yet unnecessarily complicated in his way with words. The comparison between nations such as Sweden, and Canada was a good example of the dynastic and massive arrangement of power in positions such as CEOs, and in general it was shocking to know that things like these still happen.
