Nine Million Millionaires... and counting. {BloggingStocks}
May 1st 2007 10:43PM I appreciate your perspective that the growing number of millionaires can be inspiring to those who aren't (yet) millionaires, and the suggestion that with some "prolonged and intense focus on the the principles of true success" anyone can be a millionaire, regardless of background. This is the expression of the American ideology of equality of opportunity, but some folks have more difficult barriers to overcome than others. It's a lot easier to get to a million when you start at $500K than if you started with $0. Or when your parents are able to send you to the right schools so that you can make contacts with other millionaires-to-be. Your fraternity Big Brother eventually hires you to join him at Morgan Stanley or in his new startup company. Sources of inspiration can be productive for individuals, but it would be naive to dismiss the effects of class, gender, and race on the relative chances for those who begin at a disadvantage. I'd rather be lucky than good . . .
