> So, what is the unique trait that will make sure there’s no way to achieve a worldwide average earning as an average American family?

Geography for one. Countries have unique shapes, sizes and access to natural resources.

History for another. Chess is considered one of the most even games invented, but moving first has a small but distinct advantage. Countries that are more developed today have an advantage over those that are less developed. It’s possible to catch up, but it requires some advantage over other countries.

The thought that every countries advantages and disadvantages could be equal is vanishingly small.

Now if you’re born in a country with fewer advantages, you’re at a disadvantage even if you’re a clone of someone in a more advanced country.

Then throw in that we’re not clones of each other and that mental and physical disabilities are huge barriers to success through no fault of the individual.
