Do top leaders or presidents of countries or big corporations and businesses do better economically because they were brought up from a rich family background with wealthy parents or from a poor family background with poor parents?
Or better put, does the financial status of ones family background, that is, does one being born and brought up by rich or poor parents, have a lot to do with how well they do later in life when they attain leadership roles in big corporations and businesses or become the president of a country?
Another thought to add - the super rich have connections that will span generations and as long as it is
managed semi-well
managed then they will never have to worry about working again. This frees up the children in these families to pursue something that is even greater than wealth, which is power. While money can buy a lot of things, ultimately you are constrained by the laws that were built up over decades to theoretically protect the majority. Trump is a prime example of someone who has been able to use his wealth to side step into power in a rather unique way, yet all he seems to do is create distractions while he grows his own family wealth - he is possibly the most corrupt president in history, yet it is an inevitable consequence of the form of corporatism that America decides to worship - capitalism is great but it must be well regulated by benevolent politicians that are in short supply.
