Adrian Wooldrige political editor of the Economist and author of The Aristocracy of Talent talk to Iain Martin editor of Reaction. Adrain says that meritocracy is a concept worth salvaging and reinventing. It's needed more than ever amid debates about inequality. Meritocracy is the idea that people should advance according to their talents rather than their birth or connections. Yet societies have become too stagnant, with a meritocratic elite reinforcing its own status through the education system and economy. Adrian discusses these themes with Iain Martin, editor of Reaction.
