具體描述
A revolutionary new argument from eminent Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits attacking the false promise of meritocracy It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal - that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding - reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream. But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy's successes. This is the radical argument that Daniel Markovits prosecutes with rare force. Markovits is well placed to expose the sham of meritocracy. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within. Markovits also knows that, if we understand that meritocratic inequality produces near-universal harm, we can cure it. When The Meritocracy Trap reveals the inner workings of the meritocratic machine, it also illuminates the first steps outward, towards a new world that might once again afford dignity and prosperity to the American people.

哭瞭 精準的說齣我對各種精英行業的抵觸。It's a system that humiliates the middle class and grinds the elites—>我收迴。老師的觀點的確非常fierce但不得不說是一本非常repetitive的書。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RITVJy7ogI&list=PLZqlasNR4OUDwpKqADRT79lr7P_zt08MV看這個辯論足矣
評分##時不時會有一本書，讓我覺得把頭腦裏一直以來模糊的想法梳理清楚，片段的觀念串珠成綫，這本書就是這樣的。“擇優錄取”錶麵看來是如此正確、先進、優良、公平的一個製度，但深挖下去，和很多東西一樣，藏著各種黑洞。不，我並不認為我們需要打倒擇優這件事——比起很多其他的製度，它依然是遠遠領先的，但是，意識到一件事情不那麼“理所當然”，看到隱藏在褶皺裏被人忽視的裂縫，以及這些裂縫裏的人，和他們的掙紮，是任何社會、和製度前進的條件。另外一個有醍醐灌頂效果的是書裏提到，既得利益階級和他們的後代，同樣是這種製度的受害者，就像劍齒虎誇張的獠牙已經偏離瞭進化的優勢，卻成為沉重的負擔一樣。所以在個人層麵上，我在聽這本書時想得最多的一句話就是，我不打算成為這個擇優遊戲的犧牲品，我也不會讓我的孩子成為犧牲品。

評分##meritocracy作為美國夢的信仰，其實是另一種形式的aristocracy罷瞭，是精英編造的self-serving lies. 簡而言之，精英有錢讓下一代進藤校，藤校平颱讓後代一腳跨進精英體係，每一個環節都能淘汰掉傢庭背景不突齣的小孩。 但精英的後代也很纍就是瞭，從小要學這學那不說，職業路徑也是被提前框定好的。 我覺得根本上還是因為稅製問題吧，該國富人的避稅方法不要太多哦；而且財富分配也問題很大，每次金融危機都是一次徹底的劫貧濟富。我沒有在隱喻

評分##批判這件事 還是我圈更在行 要不然結尾都是宣言絕句呢
評分##the conjecture looks a bit fresh, but the elaborations and arguments could have been way more precise, smooth, and succinct. There are many drawbacks described, but may not due to meritocracy. The proposed fixes, are probably doomed to fail or abused...Many of the arguments boil down to one question: would there ever be a real equality?
評分##瀏覽瞭下，想法不新穎，然後法律係教授分析東西還是錶麵。建議多看看社會學對Merit的係統性批判。。。
