Understanding the Meritocracy

Derek, Alastair, and Andrew discuss an essay by Helen Andrews on the "meritocracy."

This week, Derek, Alastair and Andrew consider Helen Andrews’s essay on our meritocracy. Andrews is one of the liveliest and most compelling young writers of our day, and her essay is a fascinating analysis of how our aristocracy has shifted. You can see the excerpt Andrew posted from it here.
