mmetonymy 's review for:
The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good?
by Michael J. Sandel
I really like this book as a way of bringing a common criticism of meritocracy forwarded by a wide variety of thinkers across the political spectrum to a more accessible form while bringing a salient criticism of those thinkers way of dealing with the problem. However, I still think that the author is clinging to the liberal belief that the best form of society is the republican ideal of a well informed discussion. This has never been how society has worked and I think that continue to cling to this as an ideal is apart of the issues he's been discussion.
