- What Money Can't Buy
- Susan E. Mayer
- Children from poor families generally do much worse than children from affluent families. In an ingenious exploration of why this is so, Susan Mayer asks whether income directly affects children's life chances, as many experts believe, or if the factors that cause parents to have low incomes also impede their children's life chances. Mayer finds that regardless of the research technique, the effect of income on children's lives is smaller than many experts have thought.
