"Still, given the overwhelming evidence that social mobility in the United States is low by standards of developed countries and decreasing steadily, the task of reanimating this zombie idea looks like a difficult one."
Metaphor in Context
With such a long pedigree, trickle-down economics is unlikely to be killed. Still, given the overwhelming evidence that social mobility in the United States is low by standards of developed countries and decreasing steadily, the task of reanimating this zombie idea looks like a difficult one. But Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institute is up to the job.
