Recenzje

This superb collection of essays on the theory and practice of meritocracy in China and India is a fascinating contribution to comparative politics, and to ongoing debates about the meaning of merit. Ranging across historical and contemporary attempts to allocate social roles based on talent, skill, or virtue, this volume sheds new light on some of the most urgent social and political questions of our time. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in the meritocracy debates that are raging today.
