CHAPTER

The Limitations of Meritocracy

The chapter explores the concept of meritocracy and its potential drawbacks. The speakers discuss two main critiques of meritocracy: that there is not enough meritocracy and that it is not inherently a good idea. They highlight the importance of meritocracy in selecting the best individuals for certain jobs while acknowledging the need for other principles, such as equality and democracy, to temper the effects of a meritocratic society.
