some folks find meritocracy to be "mythical"... in the not-good way: --Meritocracy in America is a myth. Capitalism is a system that is designed to fail for the majority. America is based upon a ruling oligarchy of wealth. Money is everything. Education is small potatoes. What Hayes sees as elite failure is only one side of the dialectic. American capitalism is doing exactly what it is supposed to do: succeed for the one percent and fail for the vast majority. It is not the twilight of the elites, but rather the twilight of the middle class. There is nothing at all surprising about this result. It is the heart and soul of neoliberal capitalism today.-- Eddie J. Girdner, Professor in the Department of Political Science, Girne American University in Cyprus zcomm.org seems to me that 'meritocracy' is a plutocratic strategy that encourages sycophancy. if so, meritocracy will acknowledge innovation only when it supports authority. not such a free-anything deal. bwdik
