Matthew Effect | LEVEL 07



What is the Matthew Effect? Basically, the effect is, if you have, you will have more. If you do not have, you will have less. 

In the book of Matthew there is a passage that says: "For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but for those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

You already know that, don't you? If you have money, you invest. If you invest you make more money. If you don't have money and need to buy something expensive, you may finance.  If you finance you pay interest rate. If you pay interest rate you lose money. 

It also happens in education. If one kid learns how to read, he will read. If he reads, he will learn more. If he learns more, he will be smarter. If he is smarter, he will have better grades. So on and so forth.
