I wanted to like this book. I really did. But to claim that success relies on skill alone does everyone a disservice, when in truth privilege also plays a lot into what doors are open for us to begin with. There's virtue in working hard in honing our skills if we want to focus on things that are within our control, but at the end of the day poverty is by no means a moral failing in and of itself.
