Episode 31 of Wealth Distribution with Fexingo explores an angle none of our prior 30 episodes have touched: how legacy preferences in college admissions act as a wealth-transfer mechanism that bypasses middle-class families entirely. Lucas and Luna drill into a 2025 study from the National Bureau of Economic Research that tracked admissions outcomes across income quintiles at 12 elite universities. The data shows that legacy applicants from the top 1 percent were admitted at 3.4 times the rate of similarly qualified non-legacy applicants from the middle class. They walk through how this system perpetuates wealth concentration — and why recent legislative efforts to ban legacy preferences have stalled. Specific numbers, specific names, and a concrete economic mobility angle listeners haven't heard on this feed before. #LegacyAdmissions #CollegeAdmissions #WealthInequality #EconomicMobility #MiddleClass #TopOnePercent #EducationEconomics #NBER #AdmissionsData #IntergenerationalWealth #EliteUniversities #WealthTransfer #FexingoWealth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsPodcast #LucasAndLuna #WealthDistribution Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
