The Meritocracy Myth

The Meritocracy Myth

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book challenges the widely held American belief in meritocracy that people get out of the system what they put into it based predominately on individual merit. The book identifies a variety of factors that suppress, neutralize, or negate the effects of merit, creating non-merit barriers to individual mobility. Visit our website for sample chapters!
