Is There a "War on Merit?" featuring The Financial Samurai - E47
Manage episode 354630114 series 3445267
While the idea of living in a meritocracy is desirable, as it rewards those who do better, is it prevalent in today’s society?
With 25% of American households making less than $30,000 a year, do billionaires really offer 200,000 times the merit than them? At what age do we start to blame the poor kid, a victim of bad luck his entire life, for his poor circumstances? Is anyone really self-made? Or does everything unfold by mere chance?
I invite Sam Dogen, The Financial Samurai, to discuss the role merit plays in the real world and how you can position yourself to achieve success.
