Captions available

The idea

This capstone follows two households of identical income through the concepts of the unit — wealth, mobility, poverty measurement, and the theories explaining all three — to show why income alone predicts so little.

Where people slip

Two constructed households illustrate a mechanism; they are not data, and no figure here is a reported statistic.
