The Assault On American Excellence by Anthony T. Kronman
How Radical Equality Threatens Opportunity and Prosperity
A critique arguing that America’s commitment to excellence—grounded in liberal learning, rigorous standards, and institutional autonomy—has been weakened by managerialism, doctrinaire egalitarianism, identity politics, and the politicization of campuses; these forces, the author contends, prioritize conformity and social-justice metrics over merit, free inquiry, and the cultivation of character. He urges a renewal of high standards, pluralism, and the humanities to restore institutions’ ability to foster genuine intellectual achievement and civic leadership.
