Summary

Think about the last time you saw someone achieve something remarkable. Perhaps they launched a successful business or scored the promotion of their dreams. What if I told you that alongside their hard work, there could be a hidden factor at play? That factor is luck. Recent research from economists Alessio Emanuele Biondo and Andrea Rapisarda suggests that luck holds a substantial power over success—sometimes even more than skill. Their model indicates that individuals with merely moderate talent can eclipse those with greater ability just by riding the wave of favorable circumstances.
