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##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##精彩,抽絲剝繭的批判瞭meritocracy。也分析瞭瞭民主黨這十幾年以來為什麼跑偏瞭方嚮,失去傳統陣營,成瞭精英們的代言人的。是故土的陌生人以來最讓人信服的讓我理解trumpism 的一本。但是政治哲學的分析用聽書的方式吸收不好,很多地方思想一不集中就沒聽進去。還是得用看的。
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##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##精神荷蘭人
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##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."
