The Tyranny of Merit by Michael J. Sandel explores the rising resentment and political divide fueled by meritocracy.

  1. P V Narsimha Redy –

    Sandel brilliantly dissects the flaws of meritocracy. A bit dense at times, but overall, a very important book for understanding today’s society.

  2. Shivam Dhiran –

    A thought-provoking read that challenges the meritocratic ideal. Sandel raises important questions, but the solutions felt a bit idealistic.

  3. Harsh Raj Singh –

    I found the book quite depressing. It highlights a lot of problems but doesn’t offer many concrete solutions. Still, worth reading.

  4. Shamaela Ahmed –

    This book made me reconsider my assumptions about success and failure. It’s a dense read but important for understanding current social issues.

  5. Manan Singh –

    An excellent book that makes you think critically about merit and social mobility. It’s well-written and insightful.

  6. Sachin Yadav –

    Interesting perspective on the downsides of meritocracy. I wasn’t completely convinced by all his arguments, but it’s a valuable contribution to the debate.

  7. Vishesh Mishra –

    While Sandel’s arguments are compelling, the book felt a bit repetitive at times. Still, it’s a crucial discussion about equality and dignity.

  8. Adithya T R –

    An insightful analysis of meritocracy’s pitfalls. Easy to read and understand, even for those unfamiliar with political philosophy. Highly recommended.
