low slung jobsters take warning
"income inequality
is likely to rise
simply as a consequence
of the underlying inequality
which is very great
between people
due to differences in
IQ,
energy,
health,
social skills,
character,
ambition,
physical attractiveness,
talent,
and luck "

productivity curbing

"the breakdown of the American family,
and the resulting low skill levels
acquired by children in broken families.
Cognitive skills tend to get developed
at very early ages,
while my colleague, James Heckman,
has shown that non-cognitive skills,
such as study habits,
getting to appointments on time,
and attitudes toward work,
get fixed at later,
although still relatively young, ages.
High school dropouts
certainly appear to be seriously deficient
in the non-cognitive skills
that would enable them
to take advantage
of the higher rates of return
to greater investments
in education and other human capital'
gary becker of u of chicago too
