ericblair 's review for:
The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?
by Michael J. Sandel
Not as interesting as his original book on justice, as that provided a more complete overview of the basic philosophical theories. But I did enjoy his application of his disapproval of the meritocratic dogma to recent events (Brexit and Trump). Probably the most interesting theory I have heard since university, as I was an avid believer of the meritocracy. We need to bring back the dignity of work for all. I like the idea of raising tax rate on jobs that are less productive for society, compared to those that are.
