Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth episode of The Civic Podcast.
Here I will be speaking a bit about the paradox of meritocracy, its advantages but also its dark side. We tend to believe that a system purely based on merit would be the fairest system, but that not always might be the case. A moral and ethical reflexion should take place on the public sphere in order to answer these difficult questions. As a society we need to rethink our value structures and what could constitute someone's success in life.
I hope you enjoy.
