FLAWS OF MERITOCRACY
Meritocracy is flawed as an organising principle to select the elite for society. Yet, it has been widely embraced by the liberal world for there is no viable alternative that has been tried and tested, lest society opts for the elite selection based on lineage or family and social connections. Communist countries have their unique selection process based on commitment to the ideology, loyalty to the party and job performance within the network of people’s organisations.
