Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their birth. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left?In The Aristocracy of Talent, esteemed journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities, and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity.
