There are at least three propositions in your comment: - Efficiency is implicitly good. - Material rewards can/should be allocated according to some measure of individual merit and competence. - Meritocracy and nepotism are distinct.

Read Jacobin sometime, you'll see vehement opposition. Internalizing the violent logic of capitalism, etc.
