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.
##“even if a meritocracy were fair, it would not be a good society. It would generate hubris and anxiety among the winners and humiliation and resentment among the losers” 真·猛男落淚。

評分##更新:看瞭 Michael Young 1958 年齣版的那本 the rise of meritocracy 後這本書減一星。桑德爾總是不喜歡下結論,或者說他總是得不到最根本的結論,就是我們需要多樣化的標準。|本來隻是自己有感想覺得meritocracy有問題而打開瞭這本書,沒想到這本書…改變瞭我現在看一切東西的眼光。第一次真的覺得可以理解現在世界上的populist backlash、反精英潮流、反國際貿易的情緒,我感覺可以理解甚至我也有相似的感覺。(雖然還是對Sandel的文風不太喜歡
評分##2.5 Looks like his writing is paid by number of words and his narration number of hours lol. This writing style ugh
評分##精英的暴政,一個難得坦率自省的議題。Audible聽瞭作者本人念的版本,平鋪直敘,很多大白話的例子,也很多學究氣的數據,估計需要再聽一遍纔能厘清整體邏輯。

評分##有時候同樣的觀點重復瞭好幾遍,有些冗長感。
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##聽瞭一個小時 Michael Sanders 的 podcast,隻能說,這個問題簡直就是針對中國父母來的吧。可惜那些能聽得進這些意見的人,估計也不會搞什麼起跑綫 to begin with..
