Beyond Meritocracy

Topic The tyranny of merit
Area Sociology
Summary
Merit read as personal property quietly erases luck and circumstance.

Meritocracy creates a ‘Tyranny of Merit’ where success is seen as purely personal property, ignoring luck and circumstance. It sustains itself through an accepted illusion of fairness that eventually collapses under its own contradictions.
