I don&#x27;t see how you can say it offers any value.  There are no actionable insights here.  You can&#x27;t change your family, so in the end, every individual still faces exactly the same choice: pursue the entrepreneurial path, or not.  What other people did and what their circumstances were is irrelevant.<p>If the article purported to <i>prove</i> that it is impossible to succeed as an entrepreneur without coming from a rich family, and if there were no counter-examples disproving that assertion, then I could see saying it had value.  But we know that&#x27;s not the case.  People do succeed as entrepreneurs despite coming from poor families.<p><i>There are lot of people who fall for the encouragement from PG and such and take risks without being aware of the expected financial impact.</i><p>A &quot;lot&quot; of people do that?  I&#x27;d need to see some evidence to accept that assertion.  And even if that is so, this article doesn&#x27;t help them.  They still can&#x27;t change their backgrounds &#x2F; families, and they still face the same choice.<p><i>who fall for the encouragement from PG and such</i><p>That&#x27;s some interesting language.  You make it sound like encouraging someone to chase their dreams is some kind of scam.  Oh, pity the poor gullible fool, who &quot;fell for&quot; the idea of trying to make a better life for him&#x2F;her-self...<p>A more useful article, to my way of thinking, would have been one that presented the data from this article and then continued by saying &quot;OK, so if you&#x27;re not from a wealthy family, here are the things you can do to improve your odds of succeeding anyway...&quot;  That what I mean by &quot;actionable information.  Give people something they can actually use.
That would be a valuable article, and a valuable discussion.
All I see here is negativity and anti-individualistic rabble-rousing.
