Krátky popis
'This unique and fascinating history explains why the blame now being piled upon meritocracy for many social ills is misplaced-and that assigning responsibilities to the people best able to discharge them really is better than the time-honoured customs of corruption, patronage, nepotism and hereditary castes. Wooldridge upends many common assumptions and provides an indispensable back story to this fraught and pressing issue.' Steven Pinker'The Aristocracy of Talent provides an important and needed corrective to contemporary critiques of meritocracy. It puts meritocracy in an illuminating historical and cross-cultural perspective that shows how crucial the judgment of people by their talents rather than their bloodlines or connections has been to creating the modern world.Highly recommended' Francis FukuyamaMeritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their status at birth. For much of history this was a revolutionary thought, but by the end of the twentieth century it had become the world's ruling ideology. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left? Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity.He looks outside western cultures and shows what transformative effects it has had everywhere it has been adopted, especially once women were brought into the meritocractic system. Wooldridge also shows how meritocracy has now become corrupted and argues that the recent stalling of social mobility is the result of failure to complete the meritocratic revolution. Rather than abandoning meritocracy, he says, we should call for its renewal.

Manželka mi nevadí
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti. Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách, mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát: Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje, môžeme sami.
