When higher education was transformed, teenagers were offered a deal - pay £9,000 a year and secure a ‘bright future’. But as the Guardian’s economics commentator Aditya Chakrabortty accurately predicted, for many the reality has been very different.

“Some of my students might say that class doesn’t really exist or doesn’t matter any more, that there’s this idea we’re in a meritocratic society and everyone’s got equal access to opportunities and so on and so forth,” she said. “Whereas when we look at something like this we see quite clearly the different socioeconomic brackets speak differently in different ways.”

If we believe #SocialMobility is good then a #WealthTax becomes a necessity
If we believe our #Politics is increasingly been bought by the #UltraWealthy then failure to address gross #inequality will lead to a decline in western #democracy

Amusing to watch #billionaires scrambling. No doubt they’re frustrated their billions doesn’t entitle them to a bigger number of votes. Could be that’s why they are on a never ending quest to undermine any effort to make a more equitable society
Not all billionaire types want to pull up the ladder and decrease #SocialMobility, but its clear that an influential set have managed to decrease their tax burden with each passing year leaving us #NPC types with no social safety net

As a political idea, social mobility is based on an acceptance of hierarchical depiction of society.... which builds into its politics almost inevitable resistance.
In a hierarchy, for people to move up (upwards social mobility), others must by definition move down (relative downwards social mobility) to make 'room' for those rising.
People & families have always moved downwards in such hierarchies, but resistance to an accelerated (forced) fall can hardly be unexpected!
