Meritocracy in America

An article addressing the myth of class mobility in the United States: Economist.com | Meritocracy in America
I've brought this subject up at cocktail parties, but most people refuse to think that America could be anything but a meritocracy. I'm glad there's some recent research to back up my assertions next time.

A lot of lucky people who don't realize how lucky they are.
