Access To The American Dream Isn't Just Determined By Income. Geography Matters. Raj Chetty, September 27, 2019, Audio, "Research shows that America's claim of social mobility is a myth, according to Harvard Economics Professor Raj Chetty, who told Boston Public Radio Friday that children in America are half as likely to climb out of poverty than they are in Canada. Chetty is the William A. Ackman Professor of Economics at Harvard and director of the Opportunity Insights program, where his team has determined that geography is crucial in determining social mobility. And this geography is specific, Chetty's research shows — sometimes even correlated to a person's neighborhood or block." Link
