Cuando estudiaba economía internacional en los 1960s una de las explicaciones ofrecidas para la riqueza de las naciones era su dotación de recursos naturales. Entonces los países se percibían ricos o pobres en base a sus recursos naturales. Naciones con abundantes recursos naturales eran consideradas ricas o potencialmente ricas; naciones pobres en recursos estaban destinadas a ser pobres.
Hoy entendemos que otros factores entran en juego. Por ejemplo, en su libro “¿Por qué las naciones fracasan?” Daron Acemoglu y James A. Robinson argumentan que los problemas económicos de una nación son causados por la falta de derechos políticos inclusivos. Las naciones pobres son pobres porque son dirigidas por élites estrechas que organizan la sociedad para su propio beneficio. Y hay naciones ricas porque han triunfado creando instituciones políticas y económicas inclusivas que permiten que todos participen.

On one side of the TikTok split screen was a middle-aged man, ranting that “millennials and Generation Z have the Peter Pan syndrome.”
“They don’t ever want to grow up,” he said, referring to the fictional character who fights adulthood.
On the other side of the split screen, a teenager contemplated the rant before silently holding up a notepad, and the phrase “OK Boomer” was born.
Since 2019, the hashtag #okboomer has been used 3.7 billion times on TikTok and has sparked debate between Boomers born 1946 to 1964 and Zoomers born in the 1990s to the 2010s, and who use the video conferencing app Zoom liberally about whether age and generation are to blame for society’s ills.

Who Has Economic Mobility? Everyone!

Economic mobility is very critical in the United States. This determines whether Americans prosper or not; whether or not they are able to reap the God-given talents and skills to benefit themselves and those around them. It can be considered a metric of American Exceptionalism. Wehner and Beschel articulate this point very well when they state that:
A far better way to mitigate inequality is to increase opportunity. Indeed, social mobility is the central moral promise of American economic life; the hallmark of our system is the potential for advancement and greater prosperity rooted in merit and hard work, rather than in the circumstances of one’s birth.[1]
