Answer 1

Meritocracy is a system of government or other organization based on demonstrated ability (merit) and talent rather than by wealth, family connections (nepotism), class privilege, cronyism or other historical determinants of social position and political power.

The word "meritocracy" is now also often used to describe a type of society where wealth, position, and social status are in part assigned through competition or demonstrated talent and competence, on the assumption that positions of trust, responsibility and social prestige should be earned, not inherited or assigned on arbitrary quotas. Meritocracy is used to describe competitive societies, that accept large inequalities of income, wealth and status amongst the population as a function of perceived talent, merit, competence, motivation and effort.

Answer 2

Not if you define merit as sucking your thumb in college, working without pay, and living like a 12-year-old until you are 22 so you never grow up. Sacrifice has no merit; sacrifice is scabbing because it forces talented people to destroy their personal lives and personalities or work for the brown-nosing, no-talent Yuppy wimps.

Answer 3

An excellent work to read on this matter is Plato's Republic.
