The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?
Autor Michael J. Sandelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2021
The new bestseller from the acclaimed author ofJusticeand one of the world's most popular philosophers
"Astute, insightful, and empathetic...A crucial book for this moment" Tara Westover, author ofEducated
These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favour of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the promise that "you can make it if you try". And the consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fuelled populist protest, with the triumph of Brexit and election of Donald Trump.
Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the polarized politics of our time, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalisation and rising inequality. Sandel highlights the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind. He offers an alternative way of thinking about success - more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility, and more hospitable to a politics of the common good.

Recenzii
Sandel
is
the
most
important
and
influential
living
philosopher.
The Tyranny of Meritis original, lively and no mere critique: unlike many others who have written on the "sorting" of society into winners and losers, Sandel produces a persuasive argument about the kind of community we should seek ...The Tyranny of Meritis an important work, and makes a profound point that our leaders would do well to understand.
Engaging and timely... an insightful critique of where our societies went wrong... that will help us to heal our divided societies
He is good at dismantling the cheap language of recent politics... compelling, too, in diagnosing the growing use of discriminatory language
Credentialism is the last acceptable prejudice... blends fact, analysis and opinion in eminently readable non-fiction
well-argued, clear, and nicely timed to appeal to the growing disillusionment with meritocracy.
"rich in moral exhortation - the kind that does your soul good"
