We report the words, which well summarize the parable that the concept of meritocracy has had in history and above all what, according to the author, is the risk that awaits us if we fail to bring this concept back to the center of social, political and economic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Book Structure &amp; Contents<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the 12th and 13th centuries, Venice was the richest city in Europe. Located in an unpromising swamp, it overcame its geographical disadvantages by, among other things, embracing the talent of its citizens. Where the rest of the continent was yoked under hereditary monarchs and rulers, Venice was governed by an elected doge who was steered by a council of graybeards. The city\u2019s institutions promoted workers on the basis of capability, while Venetian sailors gained in maritime reach and invested their proceeds in building up the city. But in the early 14th century, La Serenissima\u2019s elites changed their approach. Realizing that social mobility necessitated downward as well as upward movement, a group of powerful families sought to preserve the status quo and began la serrata, the closure. Migrants were no longer welcome. Trade came under state control. The population shrank. The era of Venice\u2019s preeminence was over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venice appears at the end of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Aristocracy of Talent<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a cautionary tale. Adrian Wooldridge, political editor of the Economist and author of a range of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">books with former colleague John Micklethwait<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, believes that today\u2019s advanced economies, principally the US and the UK, are heading for a similar fate. Like Venice, these powerful economies gradually came to embrace meritocracy as their guiding principle, only to permit successful meritocrats to rig their systems, which created pools of resentment and anger. It was this frustration, Wooldridge argues, that propelled Donald Trump to the White House and took the UK out of the EU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Wooldridge, the corruption of meritocracy is a tragedy. He believes basing advancement on talent and open competition, and eliminating discrimination and providing equal opportunities for all, is the best way to reconcile society\u2019s requirements to be both efficient and fair, moral and differentiated. He acknowledges that social mobility afforded him a leg up, allowing him to rise from an \u201cobscure grammar school\u201d to a place at Oxford, to a long career as a journalist and author. But he is also aware of his good fortune. Indeed, Wooldridge came of age at precisely the right time to see the best of meritocracy, belonging to the post\u2013World War II generation who enjoyed the strongest commitment to open competition before kicking away the ladder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Aristocracy of Talent is both an exhaustively researched history of an idea and a many-sided examination of the impacts of its imperfect execution. Wooldridge identifies Plato\u2019s Republic as the origin of the concept of meritocracy, in which the Athenian philosopher imagined a society run by an intellectual elite, \u201cwho have the ability to think more deeply, see more clearly and rule more justly than anyone else.\u201d Crucially, Plato\u2019s ruling class was remade each generation\u2014aristocrats were not assumed to pass on their talents\u2014and it prized women as highly as men. Wooldridge finds meritocratic leanings in other pre-modern societies, including China, which began in the fifth century to use exams to recruit civil servants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it was the expansion of the state in Europe in the early modern period that saw meritocracy first take root, albeit in a paradoxical way. As states expanded, demand for capable bureaucrats outgrew the ability of the aristocracy to produce them. The solution was to look downward and offer patronage to talented lowborns. Men such as French dramatist Jean Racine; London diarist Samuel Pepys; economist Adam Smith; and Henry VIII\u2019s right-hand man, Thomas Cromwell, were all plucked from obscurity by favoritism. Although there was nothing fair about how these men were given their opportunities, their excellence made the case for a deeper commitment to identifying lower-class talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wooldridge argues that every one of a series of cataclysmic events, from revolutions in the UK, France, and America to the two world wars in the 20th century, worked to advance the meritocratic principle to the point where patronage, which was once considered a dangerous and heretical concept, was in turn ditched in favor of open competition. But the golden age of meritocracy in the middle of the 20th century, which encompassed the promotion of selective state schools in the UK, the founding of the Ecole Nationale d\u2019Administration in France, and the spread of SAT testing in the US, was brief. Objections were raised, first from the left and then from the right. Liberals worried about using standardized tests, such as IQ and the 11-plus exam, to identify talent when entrants were made as much by their nurture as their nature and where their circumstances were often vastly unequal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attempts at collective solutions to tackle community-wide disadvantages were rarely satisfactory. Wooldridge dismisses affirmative action as a strategy to help to redress the injustices of slavery, claiming that many universities, for example, \u201ctreated it as a mechanical formula and, having recruited them, left affirmative-action students to sink or swim.\u201d Liberals were aware of the problem, expressed concisely by US president Lyndon Johnson in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his commencement address<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Howard University in 1965, but found solving it much more difficult. In his speech, Johnson said, \u201cYou do not take a person who for years has been hobbled by chains and liberate them, bring him to the starting line and then say, \u2018You are free to compete with all the others\u2019 and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the right looked on aghast as a generation of intellectual, globalized, \u201cintolerably smug\u201d meritocrats\u2014Wooldridge\u2019s contemporaries\u2014acted with undiluted confidence on a number of epoch-defining disasters, including the 2008\u201309 global financial crisis. At the same time, a lower-tier series of scandals, including Enron, LIBOR, MPs\u2019 expenses, and phone-hacking by journalists, showed that the moral compass of meritocrats had gone askew.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusions<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an era in which the value of competence (and consequently of the merit achieved through it) is questioned at various levels, social, political, economic, Woolrich&#8217;s research and analysis shows us how more than competence in itself is the way in which it was used, disregarding the principles on which meritocracy is based, which should be rethought. How? An interesting question for anyone involved in training, developing, nurturing people and organizations and must contribute to build a world in which Talents can find the best conditions to flourish, regardless of their origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy-business.com\/article\/The-rise-and-fall-of-merit?utm_source=itw&amp;utm_medium=itw20210914&amp;utm_campaign=resp\"><b>Review Mike Jakeman\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which are the important things this book talks about Mike Jakerman, journalist who has worked for PVC and who was part of the Economist Intelligence Unit, has read and has reviewed Adrian Woolridge\u2019s\u00a0 book \u201cThe Strategy of Talent\u201d for Strategy and Business in June.
