Relative vs Absolute Mobility
Definition
A distinction between measuring social mobility as change in relative ranking (where you fall in the distribution relative to your parents) versus absolute mobility (whether you live a materially better, freer life than your parents). Clark is a 'relativist' focused on ranking persistence; Cowen is an 'absolutist' focused on living standards.
