Tyranny Of Merit by Michael J. Sandel
What's Become of the Common Good?
The book explores the concept of meritocracy and its impact on society, questioning the fairness and moral implications of a system that rewards individuals based on their perceived talents and efforts. It argues that this approach can lead to a sense of entitlement among the successful and foster resentment among those who are left behind, exacerbating social divisions. The author suggests that a more equitable society should recognize the role of luck and acknowledge the contributions of all individuals, regardless of their status, to create a more inclusive and compassionate community.
