•Reports of James Coleman (1966) and Daniel Moynihan (1965) on equality and achievement
•Socioeconomic level is more related to achievement rather than education
•Genes and IQ have relatively little effect on economic success
•School quality have little effect on achievement or on economic success
•Educational reform cannot bring economic or social equality
•Blacks and whites with equal test scores have very unequal occupational statuses and income
•Only political and economic changes bring greater equality (not through education)
•Success depends on varieties of luck and on the job competence (more of personality than technical skills) that are moderately related to family background, schooling or scores on tests
