The Aristocracy of Talent: How Meritocracy Made the Modern World

★ Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book Longlist

Adrian Wooldridge uses The Aristocracy of Talent to investigate how Meritocracy Made the Modern World through a carefully framed political study. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of political science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
