and a certain degree of privilege, as these strivers may have come from humble circumstances but are mostly white men
The is a certain demographic left out of this description...
They don’t worry about the straitjacket their government faces in recruiting and rewarding talent or in training or dismissing the untalented because of a broken civil-service system
It's nice to see a balance here that the problem is both in recruiting competetive talent and dismissing the freeloaders that tend to accumulate in "public service".
From Baruch College in Manhattan to the University of California, Irvine, more colleges are working to break down the barriers of the newly entrenched meritocracy. Elite Eastern institutions such as Amherst, Vassar and Princeton are using aggressive outreach campaigns to attract applicants who might otherwise be unaware of the schools’ generous financial-aid packages.
Pretty sure everybody knows this really means they are favoring people of certain races over others and any class except middle class.
