...income equality, but it's certainly no guarantee. To take one small example, if we, as a society, decide that new areas of knowledge are eligible for strict patents and copyrights - and that that knowledge can then be cloistered within the lineage of the inventor - it will be easier for a parent to pass wealth onto a child and, as a consequence, keep that family richer than others.

On a recent morning, Dr. Nancy Grauso-Eby, a pediatrician working on the Danville campus, opened the record of a 4-year-old boy coming in because of an earache, and his entire history, from birth, popped up on her screen. So did a yellow alert that recommended the boy participate in a study called Garden Gang, a pilot program designed to teach kids...
