Twilight Of The Elites by Christopher Hayes
America After Meritocracy
An argument that America's meritocratic ideal has produced a self-perpetuating elite whose institutions have become insulated from accountability, eroding public trust and contributing to political and social dysfunction. Drawing on scandals and examples from education, law, finance, and media, it traces how credentialism and perverse incentives breed arrogance, corruption, and popular resentment. The book calls for restoring humility, transparency, and democratic checks so that merit serves the common good rather than entrenching privilege.
