Maybe I didn't use those words enough times, or perhaps the comments are weighted differently or unweighted in the ad determination. Nope, no effect.

I'm not in a panic or anything. It's more a matter of wanting to do some self-vaccination in hopes of not falling into what are for me rather easy traps to get tangled up in. In a way it's all still very christian of me, but never the less I think it's probably useful that I retain a certain modicum of project oriented self-doubt. take care, Nate heya Angela,

I'm thinking of things like: access to capital; access to cultural capital; networking; self-belief (which I think is clearly distributed inequitably across classes); prejudice against particular groups, etc. My question, then, of youse guys - what do you think are the main structural issues which prevent individuals from being treated equitably under market capitalism?

I’m just starting to write a Marxist self help book and I’m looking for
some input.

I’m guessing that most CS folk would agree that one of the problems with
individualistic fantasies of aspirational social mobility is that they
ignore very real structural issues in society that impede such mobility.
I’m thinking of things like: access to capital; access to cultural capital;
networking; self-belief (which I think is clearly distributed inequitably
across classes); prejudice against particular groups, etc.

My question, then, of youse guys - what do you think are the main
