It fits that the author's name is "Alister Bull."

Indeed, that's quite the appropriate name. For example, Mr. Bull wrote:
America may still think of itself as the land of opportunity, but the chances of living a rags-to-riches life are a lot lower than elsewhere in the world, according to a new study published on Wednesday.
Then he cites the study author's comparison with the Dutch:
"Consider a rich and poor family in the United States and a similar pair of families in Denmark, and ask how much of the difference in the parents' incomes would be transmitted, on average, to their grandchildren," Hertz said. "In the United States this would be 22 percent; in Denmark it would be two percent," he said.
All that proves is that both rich and poor people in the U.S. are better than the Dutch at teaching their children to be like themselves.
