Abstract

The article highlights the socioeconomic gap contributing to the disparities in the potential of talented children in the U.S. to become innovators and ways to ensure that these "Lost Einsteins" would grow up to invent at the same rate as children from the wealthiest families. Topics covered include differences in innovation rates in terms of socioeconomic class, race and gender, impact of increasing children's exposure to innovation, and policies that can help children achieve their potential.
