''Robert H. Frank is a professor at Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management, and author of numerous books on economics, including a widely used textbook on economics co-authored with former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. In his latest book, “Success and Luck: Good Fortune and the Myth of Meritocracy,” he discusses how underappreciated the role of random chance is in our lives. Successful people tend to credit their skill, hard work and intelligence for their fortunate outcomes. Frank points out that for every big winner, there are scores of people who are as skilled, hard-working and intelligent, but came in just behind. The lack of a lucky break can be the difference between wild success and a near miss or worse. Frank’s 1995 best seller, “The Winner-Take-All Society: Why the Few at the Top Get So Much More Than the Rest of Us,” delves into the details of this.'' https://lnkd.in/gC78QrSn
