1. 1. Moving Up Without Losing Your Way

   The Ethical Costs of Upward Mobility

   

   This book examines the moral tensions that accompany social and economic advancement for people from disadvantaged backgrounds, arguing that upward mobility often imposes ethical costs—pressure to sever community ties, downplay luck or privilege, and accept norms that conflict with past commitments. It explores how narratives of merit and personal responsibility obscure structural factors and shared obligations, and proposes both personal virtues and institutional reforms to allow individuals to prosper without abandoning ethical responsibilities to family, community, and democratic life.
