TL;DR -
1) Children from high-income (top 1%) families are ten times as likely to become inventors
2) Exposure to innovation during childhood has significant causal effects on children’s propensities to become inventors
3) The financial returns to inventions are extremely skewed and highly correlated with their scientific impact (Which basically means your product gotta sell good)
