The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good

Wednesday 31 March 2021
19:00 to 20:30

At 19:00 Richard Sullivan will review the book of this title by the well-known American political philosopher Michael Sandel.

"Sandel highlights the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind. He offers an alternative way of thinking about success - more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility, and more hospitable to a politics of the common good." (Penguin)
