Grounded as it is in a natural bias toward attainment over inherited status, meritocracy itself seems to have outlived its natural luster. In a spate of recent titles, writers — Michael Sandel in The Tyranny of Merit (2020) and Daniel Markovits in The Meritocracy Trap (2019), foremost among them — have decried the overreach of meritocracy, from being a mere device for staffing the civil service to what sometimes looks like a full-fledged hierarchy, one that ends up shaping our notions of virtue and human worth.

Sandel has two fundamental objections to this approach. First, and most obvious, the fabled “level playing field” remains a chimera. Although he says more and more of his own Harvard students are now convinced that their success is a result of their own effort, two-thirds of them come from the top fifth of the income scale. It is a pattern replicated across the Ivy League universities. The relationship between social class and SAT scores – which grade high school students ahead of college – is well attested. More generally, he notes, social mobility has been stalled for decades. “Americans born to poor parents tend to stay poor as adults.”
