Description



Michael J. Sandel, el profesor de filosofa ms famoso del mundo, aborda en su nuevo libro la pregunta ms importante de nuestra poca: qu ha sido del bien comn?

Son tiempos peligrosos para la democracia. Vivimos en una era de ganadores y perdedores, donde las probabilidades estn a favor de los ya afortunados. La movilidad social estancada y la desigualdad arraigada desmienten el credo estadounidense de que "puedes lograrlo si lo intentas". La consecuencia es una mezcla de ira y frustracin que ha alimentado las protestas populistas y la polarizacin extrema, y ha llevado a una profunda desconfianza tanto en el gobierno como en nuestros conciudadanos, dejndonos moralmente sin preparacin para enfrentar los profundos desafos de nuestro tiempo.

El filsofo de renombre mundial Michael J. Sandel argumenta que para superar las crisis que estn trastornando nuestro mundo, debemos repensar las actitudes hacia el xito y el fracaso que han acompaado a la globalizacin y al aumento de la desigualdad. Sandel muestra la arrogancia que genera una meritocracia entre los ganadores y el duro juicio que impone a los que se quedan atrs, y rastrea las terribles consecuencias en una amplia franja de la vida estadounidense. Ofrece una forma alternativa de pensar sobre el xito: ms atenta al papel de la suerte en los asuntos humanos, ms conducente a una tica de humildad y solidaridad, y ms afirmativa de la dignidad del trabajo. La Tirana del Mrito nos apunta hacia una visin esperanzadora de una nueva poltica del bien comn.

The world-renowned philosopher and author of the bestselling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good?

These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favor of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the American credo that "you can make it if you try". The consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fueled populist protest and extreme polarization, and led to deep distrust of both government and our fellow citizens--leaving us morally unprepared to face the profound challenges of our time.

World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind, and traces the dire consequences across a wide swath of American life. He offers an alternative way of thinking about success--more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility and solidarity, and more affirming of the dignity of work. The Tyranny of Merit points us toward a hopeful vision of a new politics of the common good.
