RE BROOKS AND FRIEDMAN AND A SO CALLED MERITOCRACY AT THE VERY TOP OR ANYWHERE ELSE HERE REALLY

RE this prior post:

David Brooks said something recently, similar to Friedman,  about it only turned meritocratic here after WWII.

What utter nonsense. 

Think, for example, of the ' meritocratic ' pinnacle at Salomon, chronicled by Michael Lewis in Liar's Poker, before it went belly up.

So many other examples spring to mind. See examples of multiple board of directorates, where individual directors get appointed to multiple boards in different industries, or for different species of holding company, simultaneously, CEOS, and government posts, as related, in The Global Class War.

Term search rail to rail, really erratic, etc.

See especially a prior post such as this:
