The Son Also Rises
Surnames and the History of Social Mobility (The Princeton Economic History of the Western World, 49)
Gregory Clark
The Son Also Rises challenges the belief that social mobility has improved over time by tracking family names across eight centuries and various countries. Economist Gregory Clark provides evidence that fate is determined by ancestry, and that social mobility rates remain low and are resistant to change. This thought-provoking book will challenge assumptions and spark debate.
