……在我们如何允许财富进行大规模代际传递上。但正如你指出的那样，一个孩子能上什么样的学校，很大程度上取决于其父母是谁。Chris Hayes 在他的神作《Twilight of the Elites》[1]中彻底否定了优绩主义（meritocracy）。他不仅因为我前面提到的那些原因在实践中否定它，甚至在理论上也全盘推翻。他认为，给某些人倾斜大量资源这种做法……
…in how we allow massive intergenerational transfers of wealth. But also, as you point out, the schools a child can attend are very dependent on who their parents are. In Chris Hayes' excellent book, Twilight of the Elites [1], he rejects meritocracy. Not only does he reject it in practice, for reasons like those I presented, but he also rejects it even in theory. He suggests that the idea of showering people with resources…

…what should be. It is the quintessential naturalistic fallacy. I wish I could upvote this so many more times. It honestly had never occurred to me that meritocracy could be a bad thing until I read Twilight of the Elites by Chris Hayes (yep, the same MSNBC host guy) [1], recommended to me by a friend. But after reading that book, which is one of the best written and edited books on econ/policy I've ever read, I'm fairly…

You may really like a book named _Twilight of the Elites_ by Chris Hayes [1]. It touches on much of what you are disappointed with. The short summary on amazon is pretty good: Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one institution…
如果你对 meritocracy（优绩主义）和精英主义的崩溃感兴趣，我强烈推荐阅读 Chris Hayes 写的《Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy》，他目前就职于 MSNBC。Aaron Swartz 曾在 CrookedTimber 上为这本书写过一篇精彩的书评：http://crookedtimber.org/2012/06/18/guest-review-by-aaron-sw...
