The Aristocracy of Talent |
An extremely detailed global history of meritocracy and how it formed the modern world. Erudite, thoughtful and magnificently entertaining. While presenting a survey of many different cultures it focuses on the West and especially on the development of meritocracy in the United States and is now more than ever relevant to the state of things today. With an extensive list of books for further reading, this is the book we have been waiting for.
