Show Me the Résumé: The Myth of Meritocracy
from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left
Whether it's a corporate office, a government agency, or the President's Cabinet, Americans love to say the best person should get the job. But do we actually believe that... or only when it benefits our side? In Episode 100 of Your Neighbor on the Left, we take a hard look at the myth of meritocracy, the realities of opportunity and favoritism, and why the question "Show me the résumé" might be the simplest test of whether someone truly believes in merit.
