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.
##我在豆瓣上標注這本書 想起一個標題梗 The Tyranny of Douban,懂麼,懂瞭就明白這本書想說明什麼瞭。

評分##虎頭蛇尾,meritocracy的淵源流變講得不錯,最後的建議想當然瞭。稅製設計和價值認同是個實證問題,定量分析要跟上。
評分##精英們不因將成功歸結為純個人努力的結果,也無權為“失敗者”決定所謂的“機會平等”和補償,真正的良好社會則在於,培養公民意識,通過廣泛而平等的公共商議,協力尋找並追求無論成功與否都能獲得尊嚴和幸福的共同價值

評分##剖析瞭meritocracy的內在邏輯以及它如何導緻瞭美國和世界範圍內日漸興起的民粹主義。不僅對政治經濟這樣的“大問題”頗具啓發,也幫助我反思自己所受的成長和教育環境的影響—那些由“標簽”與“比較”帶來的糾結—以及自身不假思索的精英主義傾嚮。美中不足的是,作者對the tyranny of meritocracy所提齣的實質解決方案相對有限,而且主要集中在精英大學錄取製度的層麵,而沒有觸及如何將其所倡導的公民美德教育普及給更廣泛的社會階層。不過,相信這本書是一個好的開始,希望在未來,不同階級,身份的人都可以驕傲地說,“我們都有光明的前途。”
