Quotes by Gregory Clark (?)

“المداخيل اقوى على المدى الطويل من اي ايديولوجيا فى صياغة حياتنا. فلا يوجد قانون يفرض على المواطنين القيام بواجباتهم على نحو يفوق قدرة المداخيل على توجية بنية حياتنا بكل مهارة”
― Gregory Clark

“the good society would have a low rate of inheritance of social status and correspondingly low variations in income and wealth.”
― Gregory Clark, The Son Also Rises: Surnames and the History of Social Mobility

“Underlying or overall social mobility rates are much lower than those typically estimated by sociologists or economists. The intergenerational correlation in all societies for which we construct surname estimates - medieval England, modern England, the United States, India, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Chile, and even egalitarian Sweden - is between 0.7 and 0.9, much higher than conventionally estimated. Social status is inherited as strongly as any biological trait, such as height.”
― Gregory Clark, The Son Also Rises: Surnames and the History of Social Mobility
