The Rise of the Meritocracy
by Michael Young
It is an amazing insight into how society works, how families work, and how good intentions go astray. It is really important that people realise that the term meritocracy, which we now wave around as if it was the one thing we could all agree on as a good thing, was actually coined for this satirical novel…and it’s not the arrival of nirvana.
