Waarom meritocratie niet werkt

"The coronavirus pandemic has, of course, briefly illuminated how essential other types of workers — such as nurses, care-givers and delivery drivers — can be. But while we laud these professions on the signs we post in our windows during quarantine, it’s clear who society’s winners really are: highly educated, or at least highly credentialed, global elites — the sort of people who crunch numbers, trade stocks, programme software, write newspaper articles like this one and speak fluently in the officious and all too often emotionally distant patois of their breed."
