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.

##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##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##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##想認真地推薦一下這本書，很適閤給當下各種捲的討論提供一個思路。當我們普遍以為我們從貴族製進化到 meritocracy 是打破瞭封建藩籬開始人人平等的進步社會時，作者已經在質疑 meritocracy 給社會帶來的毒害，這其中就包括因為人人都可以憑自己的纔能參與競爭，導緻成功的人認為憑的是自己的本事，而失敗的人不僅地位低下，同時還伴有一種社會賦予的屈辱感，這進一步加劇瞭成功者的傲慢和失敗者憤懣，以及中間階層的極度恐懼。而是否真的存在所謂公平的競爭？我們當下對成功的定義是否過於輕視瞭對道德和common good的追求？對於民粹主義的反撲應該如何看待和應對？種種我們正在經曆的問題，作者或許沒有直接提供答案，但是可以幫我們更好的反思該怎麼看待當前擺在我們麵前的各種問題。

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。
