Book Description

Clark (economics, Univ. of California, Davis) continues the project begun in his A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World (CH, Jan'08, 45-2713). Here, he offers a controversial challenge to standard ideas that social mobility wipes out class advantages over a few generations.
