Chapter 6 | Why the Strong Get Stronger: the Matthew Effect and Advantage Accumulation
Advantages often accumulate. Early resources, reputation, network, and skill can make later gains easier to obtain.
Core idea: The Matthew effect explains why small early differences can become large long-term gaps.
How to read it: treat the chapter as a working frame. Identify the situation it describes, the mistake it warns against, and the standard it asks you to build into your own system.
Static practice: Find one field where advantage compounds and write what creates the initial advantage.
