Social mobility and its enemies

Abstract: Increasingly it seems that the rich and poor of Britain are destined to stay on the same rungs of the economic or social ladder for successive generations. A new book by Lee Elliot Major and Stephen Machin calls for an alternative model of social mobility, one that develops all talents, not just academic, but vocational and creative too - and which creates opportunities across the whole country, not just in London.
