Do wealthier people owe their financial success to skill or luck?
Your views on this question may be set by your own financial status, at least according to a study of people playing a card game.
“It was absolutely obvious one of the players was playing with a huge advantage,” says Mauricio Bucca of the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
