Is There a "War on Merit?" featuring The Financial Samurai - E47

While the idea of living in a meritocracy is desirable, as it rewards those who do better, is it prevalent in today’s society?    With 25% of American households making less than $30,000 a year, do billionaires really offer 200,000 times the merit than them? At what age do we start to blame the poor kid, a victim of bad luck his entire life, for his poor circumstances? Is anyone really self-made? Or does everything unfold by mere chance?   I invite Sam Dogen, The Financial Samurai, to discuss the role merit plays in the real world and how you can position yourself to achieve success.   Mentions: Jeff Bezos and the Meritocracy Kings: https://bestinterest.blog/meritocracy/ Learn About The Financial Samurai: https://www.financialsamurai.com/about/ How to Survive the War on Merit: https://www.financialsamurai.com/how-to-survive-the-war-on-merit/ Buy This, Not That on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Wz1G3L   More of The Best Interest: Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at [email protected]   The Best Interest Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.
