Related, I'd highly recommend reading Harvard Law School professor Michael Sandel's recent book on Meritocracy. He lays out a comprehensive exploration of the luck factor in the role of justice, democracy, and the shared common good.
- epgui 4y agoThe problem I have with Sandel’s argument against meritocracy is that the “meritocracy trap” is not meritocracy at all, but the illusion of meritocracy. He has a point, but I just disagree with how he frames it: a true meritocracy doesn’t have the attributes he highlights. I highly recommend his “Justice” lectures from Harvard though.
