    Every day a new Einstein is born, and their life and choices are dictated by the level of wealth and opportunity they are born into.

    We would see stories like this every week if wealth and opportunities were equally distributed.

      I largely agree, except s/equally/equitably.

      I didn’t see where the article was about capitalism. Did you comment the right post? It seems off-topic.
