Скачать или смотреть Life After Meritocracy: David Goodhart and Reihan Salam Discuss the Future of Western Politics

David Goodhart, the journalist and head of Policy Exchange’s Demography, Immigration, and Integration Unit, is one of the sharpest interpreters of the West’s populist moment. In his latest book, Head, Hand, Heart: Why Intelligence is Over-Rewarded, Manual Workers Matter, and Caregivers Deserve More Respect, Goodhart offers a vision for reform that he believes would rebuild the bonds connecting Western elites – of both right and left – to their fellow citizens. Over the last 40 years, the winners of meritocracy have claimed more and more of the economic rewards and social prestige that our societies have to offer. Goodhart argues it is time we reverse this trend and recognize the many virtues besides cleverness and ambition that a well-functioning society requires.
