About this book
The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good? is a 2020 book by the philosopher Michael J. Sandel. Sandel links the rise of populism to the dominance of meritocracy and the resentment it breeds, and looks at the divide between those who have succeeded and those left behind.
He proposes a different way of thinking about success: to recognise the role of luck in our achievements, to build an ethic of humility and solidarity and to affirm the dignity of work, in a politics centred on the common good.
