"A rich, incisive analysis of how the meritocratic ideal contributes to contemporary political crisis." -- Publisher's Weekly "This is a remarkable book about justice. In his unique and powerful moral voice, Michael Sandel digs at the roots of our divisions, dissects the causes of inequality, and dismantles the lazy orthodoxy of those on the left and the right. Accessible and profound, The Tyranny of Merit is a revelatory assessment of pervasive unfairness in our society, driven in part by a naïve and myopic reliance on the notion of merit. In a time of easy rhetoric and thoughtless tribalism, this provocative book is a must-read for anyone who still cares about the common good. You will catch yourself wondering, again and again, "Why have I never thought of it that way?" No good faith reader will come away from this book unchanged." --Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Author of Doing Justice: A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law "Astute, insightful, and empathetic, Sandel exposes the cruelty at the heart of some of our most beloved myths about success. A must-read for anyone struggling to understand populist resentment, and why, for many Americans, the American Dream has come to feel more like a taunt than a promise. A crucial book for this moment." --Tara Westover, author of Educated "The Tyranny of Merit deftly exposes the flaws and fallacies of meritocratic philosophy. In lucid, illuminating prose, Sandel makes a compelling case for uprooting inequality and building a fairer society shaped by true principles of justice. A seminal work." --Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation "The Tyranny of Merit is truly a great book. It is the rare book of political theory that will be widely accessible, make news, and provoke healthy debate -- debate that will strengthen our democracy regardless of the side one takes. And it will resonate widely, even profoundly, about the situation we are all in." --Elliot Gerson, Vice President of the Aspen Institute, "The Tyranny of Merit deftly exposes the flaws and fallacies of meritocratic philosophy. In lucid, illuminating prose, Sandel makes a compelling case for uprooting inequality and building a fairer society shaped by true principles of justice. A seminal work." - Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation "In this paradigm-shifting book, Sandel lucidly poses questions we aren't asking about the roots of America's most basic pride in "rising up" through education. Is higher education a solution to inequality, he asks, or with enlightening vacations and paid tutors for the rich--a neww expression of it? Would widening access to the BA and higher degrees improve society or, despite what we intend, exacerbate a tyranny of merit? Such a tyranny hurts both winners and losers, he argues. It hurts the anxious strivers who actually make it into elite colleges for it drains away humility and gratitude. ("I'm smart. I worked hard. I don't owe anything back.") And it hurts the uncredentialed majority of Americans left to feel humiliated and resentful. Such feelings become the emotional "rocket fuel," Sandel brilliantly argues, driving support for Donald Trump. He proposes a new spirit, a widened sense of purpose and education without tyranny. An important and stunning read." --Arlie Russell Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right. "This is a remarkable book about justice. In his unique and powerful moral voice, Michael Sandel digs at the roots of our divisions, dissects the causes of inequality, and dismantles the lazy orthodoxy of those on the left and the right. Accessible and profound, contemporary and historical, The Tyranny of Merit is a revelatory assessment of pervasive unfairness in our society, driven in part by a naïve and myopic reliance on the notion of merit.

Sandel's critique is as compelling as his plea for the renewal of social bonds is powerful. Besides debunking a series of myths-- that success is self-made, that humans are self-sufficient, that educational attainment matters more than the dignity of work--the book is a brave attack on technocracy as the foundation of a just social order." --Adrian Pabst, Prospect "This is a remarkable book about justice.

Synopsis
A Times Literary Supplement 's Book of the Year 2020 A New Statesman 's Best Book of 2020 A Bloomberg 's Best Book of 2020 A Guardian Best Book About Ideas of 2020 The world-renowned philosopher and author of the bestselling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good? These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favor of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the American credo that "you can make it if you try". The consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fueled populist protest and extreme polarization, and led to deep distrust of both government and our fellow citizens--leaving us morally unprepared to face the profound challenges of our time. World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind, and traces the dire consequences across a wide swath of American life. 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 solidarity, and more affirming of the dignity of work. The Tyranny of Merit points us toward a hopeful vision of a new politics of the common good.

    Shipping took a little longer than it initially said but the book still arrived just as described in fantastic condition. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging though, as it was just wrapped in a simple thin plastic sleeve with zero cushion or padding and I've had books completely destroyed because there was nothing to protect them so if possible I'd like to see the seller provide a safer package when shipping books. But thankfully mine wasn't damaged in transit!
