Is "resembling Jacob Rees-Mogg" (Eton, Oxford Hist.) supposed to mean anything other than "picking your father well"?

That's what is necessary in the US class system, so I'd believe it in the UK context. Are there any class systems where this advice does not apply?

How much is the UK class system crippling the economy?

We'll never find out, the same way we'll never find out how much the US economy is crippled by racism there.

Every economy enjoys a mixture of well educated visionaries and self-entitled idiots. Sadly I believe a bloody revolution would just result in different people in the same roles.
