Rags to riches

Rags to riches refers to any situation in which a person rises from poverty to wealth, and in some cases from obscurity to fame—sometimes instantly. This is a common archetype in literature and popular culture (for example, the writings of Horatio Alger, Jr.).
==Criticism==
The concept of "Rags to riches" has been criticised by social reformers, revolutionaries, essayists and statisticians, who argue that only a handful of exceptionally capable and/or mainly lucky persons are actually able to travel the "rags to riches" road, being the great publicity given to such cases a natural Survivorship bias illusion,〔Taleb, 2001. ''"Part II: Monkeys on typewriters; Survivorship and other Biases"''〕 which help keep the masses of the working class and the working poor in line, preventing them from agitating for an overall collective change in the direction of social equality.〔Peña, 2012. Chapter 5 ''"From Rags to Riches"''〕〔Weiss, 1969. P.35〕
