Daniel Markovits is Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at Yale Law School and founding director of the Center for the Study of Private Law.
A revolutionary new argument from eminent Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits attacking the false promise of meritocracy It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal - that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding - reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream. But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy's successes. This is the radical argument that Daniel Markovits prosecutes with rare force. Markovits is well placed to expose the sham of meritocracy. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within. Markovits also knows that, if we understand that meritocratic inequality produces near-universal harm, we can cure it. When The Meritocracy Trap reveals the inner workings of the meritocratic machine, it also illuminates the first steps outward, towards a new world that might once again afford dignity and prosperity to the American people.
##阿姨送我的書,她女兒頭腦聰慧但體弱多病她很憂心,給我講一些怪事比某州某校某年掩蓋瞭N個學生自殺。我感覺現在美國高中也這樣吧中國教育大省的高中每年都掛幾個的。我認識的叔叔當校長受不瞭不乾瞭。下午抓起來翻瞭一遍..作者慷慨陳詞,類似hypereducated/superelite的大詞簡直嚇死本韭瞭。他的觀察和論據都非常實在-workplace training以前是雇主提供如今成本轉嫁給瞭員工。但我覺得整本書忽視瞭瞭一個大的矛盾,即生産力與生産關係的矛盾,人力不值錢,製造閤格勞動力的養育成本太高,更不用說醫生律師等。養孩假設按照每年20W成本,復利10%20年後總成本1145W;換做15%復利總成本就變成2048W瞭..啥樣的工作能justify這種投入啊?那可不就形成瞭一個trap..
評分##meritocracy不行啦,讓middle class壓力太大瞭,太明顯稱為上層人壓榨的工具瞭,所以我們重新分配一下迴到以前大傢都有淳樸的生活的時候就好啦,就大概改革一下教育和稅製就ok啦,其他不用煩心(可是明明之前說瞭那麼多的high tech/automation威脅就業和加劇工作壓力,怎麼最後就不提瞭?你確定你不是對上個世紀的美國有太多粉紅色的泡泡?(一般暢銷書,看看就行
評分 評分 評分###一個簡單的概念怎麼能扯這麼長#係列。 目前看到第一章,感覺他聊的都是精英治理被扭麯後産生的弊端,而不是精英治理本身的問題。是裙帶主義的陷阱,而不是精英治理的陷阱吧。
評分##瀏覽瞭下,想法不新穎,然後法律係教授分析東西還是錶麵。建議多看看社會學對Merit的係統性批判。。。
評分 評分##meritocracy作為美國夢的信仰,其實是另一種形式的aristocracy罷瞭,是精英編造的self-serving lies. 簡而言之,精英有錢讓下一代進藤校,藤校平颱讓後代一腳跨進精英體係,每一個環節都能淘汰掉傢庭背景不突齣的小孩。 但精英的後代也很纍就是瞭,從小要學這學那不說,職業路徑也是被提前框定好的。 我覺得根本上還是因為稅製問題吧,該國富人的避稅方法不要太多哦;而且財富分配也問題很大,每次金融危機都是一次徹底的劫貧濟富。我沒有在隱喻
