In every culture and in every realm, your birth and the enculturation that  you receive, based on your surroundings, will have a great influence on your  life, the chances you get, the skills you acquire and the possibilities you have. More often than not it is more a great deal of luck involved if we are talking about upward social mobility in a rigid system.

You don't have to be corrupt to deny poor ones the chance of making it to the top, they will simply have far fewer chances to learn the skills needed or to acquire the social capital needed to succeed. No human system is ever fair.
