The Tyranny of Merit
Michael J Sandel
A renowned philosopher dives deep into the current crisis of winners and losers in our society, exposing the dangerous effects of entrenched inequality and lack of social mobility. Through a critical lens, the book explores the consequences of meritocracy, which generates hubris among the successful and harshly judges those left behind. The Tyranny of Merit offers a more humble and solidary alternative and points towards a positive future of politics that prioritizes the common good.
