"As Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis pointed out decades ago in Schooling in Capitalist America, “meritocracy” is a self-serving ideology of the ruling class, which frames the particular institutional and class structure we live under as something that just spontaneously happened because it was the most efficient way of doing things, or because people “wanted it that way.” But in fact, it was created through the exercise of power by the people who directly benefited from the decisions, and is set up in such a way as to be administered by those who have internalized the values of those at the top."
