Is The United States 'The Land Of Equal Opportunity' Or Is The Playing Field Tilted In Favor Of Those Whose Parents Are Wealthy, Well Educated, And White? If Family Background Is Important In Getting Ahead, Why? And If The Processes That Transmit Economic Status From Parent To Child Are Unfair, Could Public Policy Address The Problem? Unequal Chances Provides New Answers To These Questions By Leading Economists, Sociologists, Biologists, Behavioral Geneticists, And Philosophers.New Estimates Show That Intergenerational Inequality In The United States Is Far Greater Than Was Previously Thought. Moreover, While The Inheritance Of Wealth And The Better Schooling Typically Enjoyed By The Children Of The Welltodo Contribute To This Process, These Two Standard Explanations Fail To Explain The Extent Of Intergenerational Status Transmission. The Genetic Inheritance Of Iq Is Even Less Important. Instead, Parentoffspring Similarities In Personality And Behavior May Play An Important Role. Race Contributes To The Process, And The Intergenerational Mobility Patterns Of African Americans And European Americans Differ Substantially.Following The Editors' Introduction Are Chapters By Greg Duncan, Ariel Kalil, Susan E.
