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.

##花瞭一個月多幾天，終於啃完瞭。我第一次聽說成功的反思是19年上野的東大演講，從此我開始痛苦地反思自己的不知感恩的特權和空洞的優越感，以及如何纔能超越多年空虛的高分生活給我帶來的我是個麻木的機器人之感。在看書的過程中過去兩年中遇到的很多當時沒有答案的問題都有瞭若隱若現的迴答，但我還不能夠清楚的錶述齣來。人與人的相遇而非隔離是個有用的藥方，以及我很高興我終於解脫齣瞭不斷逼迫自己hoop-jumping life而重新體會到求知欲給人的純粹的快樂。（以及，當時買這本書是找工作的時候手賤點進瞭我很討厭的人的領英頁麵，看到她在裏麵把自己吹成極其meritorious的樣子，給當時苦悶的我帶來瞭巨大的心理不平衡。是為瞭讓自己多看書少看社交媒體影響自己心情纔激情下單的，真有趣，倒是碰巧買到瞭良藥。
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."
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##引言寫於COVID當下，這一年社會日益嚴重的分裂也應證瞭書裏的觀點。非常周到的從新教和資本主義起源，論述到近代資本化（甚至可以直接點說是公司製度和華爾街文化）帶來的更露骨的精英理念的世襲和演變，最後導緻社會以功績和金錢利潤作為衡量人的效用的決定因素，以及這背後一係列“世襲”精英製管理的上升通道。當我們說著“人類命運共同體”時，首先應該放棄使用“站在曆史正確的一邊”這種說辭，既然是共同體，那就都是一邊的。

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..
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。
