Success and luck. The factor of luck and the myth of meritocracy. 2nd edition. Frank R.

One of the most famous modern experts in the behavioral economy Robert Frank gives an answer to the question of how much luck is important for economic success, and shows why the rich underestimate the role of luck in success and why it is harmful to everyone, including the rich themselves. He describes how in a world where the markets dominate more and more, in which the winner receives everything, the chances and insignificant differences at the start are often turned into a significant gap in income; as false ideas about luck are preserved, despite convincing evidence against them; And as myths about success and luck define harmful personal and political decisions. The book is addressed to sociologists, economists, social psychologists, specialists in the behavioral economy, as well as a wide circle of readers.
