具体描述
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.

##听了一个小时 Michael Sanders 的 podcast，只能说，这个问题简直就是针对中国父母来的吧。可惜那些能听得进这些意见的人，估计也不会搞什么起跑线 to begin with..
评分##2.5 Looks like his writing is paid by number of words and his narration number of hours lol. This writing style ugh
评分##前半部分的分析很深刻，但是后半部分提出的解决方案感觉狗尾续貂。
评分##想认真地推荐一下这本书，很适合给当下各种卷的讨论提供一个思路。当我们普遍以为我们从贵族制进化到 meritocracy 是打破了封建藩篱开始人人平等的进步社会时，作者已经在质疑 meritocracy 给社会带来的毒害，这其中就包括因为人人都可以凭自己的才能参与竞争，导致成功的人认为凭的是自己的本事，而失败的人不仅地位低下，同时还伴有一种社会赋予的屈辱感，这进一步加剧了成功者的傲慢和失败者愤懑，以及中间阶层的极度恐惧。而是否真的存在所谓公平的竞争？我们当下对成功的定义是否过于轻视了对道德和common good的追求？对于民粹主义的反扑应该如何看待和应对？种种我们正在经历的问题，作者或许没有直接提供答案，但是可以帮我们更好的反思该怎么看待当前摆在我们面前的各种问题。

评分##Strive for "a broad equality of condition that enables those who do not achieve great wealth or prestigious positions to live lives of decency and dignity — developing and exercising their abilities in work that wins social esteem, sharing in a widely diffused culture of learning, and deliberating with their fellow citizens about public affairs."
评分##精神荷兰人
评分##有时候同样的观点重复了好几遍，有些冗长感。
评分##精英的暴政，一个难得坦率自省的议题。Audible听了作者本人念的版本，平铺直叙，很多大白话的例子，也很多学究气的数据，估计需要再听一遍才能厘清整体逻辑。
