Teaching Inequality: A Simple Counterfactual Exercise.
Brezina, Timothy
Teaching Sociology, v24 n2 p218-24 Apr 1996
Describes a simple in-class exercise that reveals some flaws in capitalist, individualistic-oriented ideology by following specific assumptions to their logical conclusion. Poses the question, if drive and ambition are sole determinants of success could society accommodate a population where everyone possessed those qualities? (MJP)
