Children born into disadvantage are, by the time they start kindergarten, already at risk of dropping out of school, teen pregnancy, crime, and a lifetime of low-wage work. This is bad for all those born into disadvantage and bad for American society.Current social and education policies directed toward children focus on improving cognition, yet success in life requires more than smarts. Heckman calls for a refocus of social policy toward early childhood interventions designed to enhance both cognitive abilities and such non-cognitive skills as confidence and perseverance. This new focus on preschool intervention would emphasize improving the early environments of disadvantaged children and increasing the quality of parenting while respecting the primacy of the family and America's cultural diversity. Heckman shows that acting early has much greater positive economic and social impact than later interventions--which range from reduced pupil-teacher ratios to adult literacy programs to expenditures on police--that draw the most attention in the public policy debate. At a time when state and local budgets for early interventions are being cut, Heckman issues an urgent call for action and offers some practical steps for how to design and pay for new programs.The debate that follows delves deeply into some of the most fraught questions of our time: the sources of inequality, the role of schools in solving social problems, and how to invest public resources most effectively. Mike Rose, Geoffrey Canada, Charles Murray, Carol Dweck, Annette Lareau, and other prominent experts participate. 410 0$aBoston review book. 606 $aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation (Early childhood)$zUnited States 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation (Early childhood) 615 0$aEducational equalization 676 $a372.210973 700 $aHeckman$b James J$g(James Joseph)$0871842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452659003321 996 $aGiving kids a fair chance$92170149 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03083nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9910782583503321 005 20230721032323.0 010 $a0-19-770296-1 010 $a0-19-988708-X 010 $a1-281-82590-5 010 $a9786611825904 010 $a0-19-971608-0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000555860 035 $a(EBL)415312 035 $a(OCoLC)476241635 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000156655 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11179203 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000156655 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10129804 035 $a(PQKB)11762324 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL415312 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10254368 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL182590 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC415312 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000555860 100 $a20080321d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFool's gold?$b[electronic resource] $ethe truth behind angel investing in America /$fScott A.

This outsider fills the gap between the venture capitalist and the professional investor, swooping in with cash and expertise to bring dreams to fruition. Unfortunately, Shane observes, this figure bears no relationship to reality. In Fool's Gold, he draws on hard data from the Federal Reserve and other sources to paint the first reliable group portrait of the lionized angel investors.
