[Bgs-list] Escaping Poverty Requires Almost 20 Years With Nearly Nothing Going Wrong

[Charles Baker]

"Escaping Poverty Requires Almost 20 Years With Nearly Nothing Going Wrong:
The MIT economist Peter Temin argues that economic inequality results in
two distinct classes. And only one of them has any power."

How is one to move up from a lower socio-eoconomic group to a higher one?
Education is key, the economist Peter Temin writes, but this means
plotting, starting in early childhood, a successful path to, and through,
college. That’s a 16-year (or longer) plan that can be easily upended.
