具體描述
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.

##精神荷蘭人
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##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##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##“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##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。
評分給我帶來非常多思考的一本書，書寫上邏輯嚴謹，層層遞進非常舒服。重設瞭我很多概念的先驗認知並聯係起來，比如meritocracy之於當下的popularism，polarization和demoralization；比如technocracy加上globalization之於美國這四十年來日益加劇的inequality；比如liberal market，american dream之於meritocracy的必然，從而改變social welfare，（經濟學上將近半世紀的著名爭論！）而後又如何導嚮現在盛行的credentialism再進一步強化meritocracy與mobility的日益不可能。我想把它武斷地推薦給每一個人，它不是一部全對的書，但會讓人或社會變得更公正，更可能，我想。
