Paul Krugman: The Real Poverty Trap. Conservatives Want Dark Skinned People To Fail


Krugman: "I mean, think about it: Do you really believe that making conditions harsh enough that poor women must work while pregnant or while they still have young children actually makes it more likely that those children will succeed in life? So the whole poverty trap line is a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy; the alleged facts about incentive effects are mostly wrong, and in any case the entire premise that work effort = social mobility is wrong." Paul Krugman in The New York Times
