It's part of the movement toward a more realistic view of "entrepreneurs". Wishing to be a wealthy aristocrat with a sea of sharecroppers isn't a commendable goal, regardless of your background. This article just points out that aristocrats tend to beget aristocrats.

I guess that's one way of looking at it. To me, it feels more like an attack on the very notion of entrepreneurship, and a way of discouraging people from pursuing that path. I feel like this kind of article originates with the same people (and the same thinking) that are always proclaiming "it's all luck, nothing you do really matters".
