Publisher's Synopsis

Parents exert a definite and strong influence on their children in terms of personality, but do they influence them in terms of economics and occupation as well? This study maintains that children's occupational choice is indeed related, in a systematic fashion, to the influence of their parents. The Roots of Success presents the first consistent theory of occupational following from an economic perspective.
