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.
##前半部分的分析很深刻,但是後半部分提齣的解決方案感覺狗尾續貂。
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##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##有時候同樣的觀點重復瞭好幾遍,有些冗長感。
評分##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."
