Are You Morally Deserving Your Success?

i don't necessarily see the empirical support for the the causal arrow your drawing between succeeding in a meritocracy and thinking that you morally deserve your success. So people may not always think through the full implications of their views, which is why i use a range of interpretive readings of our public orse. I show how this way of thinking and talking about success is a relatively recent thing in our public discourse,. It really, it goes back to the 19 eighties. Begins with ronald regan in large part, but it's picked up and given even more emphasis by bill clinton and then by baracco bamma.
