A review of Daniel Markovits’s “The Meritocracy Trap”
A companion volume is The Tyranny of Merit: what’s become of the common good by Michael Sandel (2020). Like other Sandel books it is very well written, copiously and carefully end noted, and well argued.
In other words, the book is garbage, as is any ideology that denies the importance of education and competence.
