Inhaltsangabe

This book challenges the widely held American belief in meritocracy―that people get out of the system what they put into it based on individual merit. Examining talent, attitude, work ethic, and character as elements of merit, the book also evaluates the effect of non-merit factors such as social status, race, heritage, and wealth on meritocracy. The third edition features a new section on “The Great Recession.”
