The tyranny of merit | Michael Sandel

Sobre este episodio

<p>What accounts for our polarized public life, and how can we begin to heal it? Political philosopher Michael Sandel offers a surprising answer: those who have flourished need to look in the mirror.

Hear why we need to reconsider the meaning of success and recognize the role of luck in order to create a less rancorous, more generous civic life.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
