About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of meritocracy in government and the implications of cutting back on poor performers.

What if government cutbacks meant getting rid of the poor performers rather than the poorly connected? Isn’t the idea of a MERITOCRACY built into the fundamental assumption about how a free people’s government works?
