An attack on the notion that meritorious placement in society can achieve just and equitable outcomes, and an examination of some alternatives to merit that may be more desirable and successful.

Review of 'The Tyranny of Merit' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

The first part of the book is quite repetitive in setting out its philosophical foundations. I would have appreciated more pragmatic discussion like in the second half.
