Pedigree: how elite students get elite jobs
血统：精英阶层的学生如何获得精英工作
背景：大多数美国人相信勤劳工作是成功之钥(而非贵族血统)。教科书、报纸和小说中充斥着激动人心的成功故事——普通人凭借魄力和坚忍最终荣升社会上流。不管这些叙述的重心是巴菲特还是“从流浪到哈佛”，其底层的讯息都一样：他们不靠父母的福荫就取得了经济和社会地位，所以上流之所以上是因为非凡的智力、不懈的努力和要强的个性，而底层只能怪自己的弱点。但《血统》一书的作者通过探访投行、咨询公司及律所等高收入行业的招聘流程发现，出身精英家庭的学生通常会获得最精英的工作。虽然美国的现代语境已经不待见“阶级”一词了，但它仍然长期存在并深刻地影响我们的下一代。
