What is a meritocracy? Roots:
merit: performing good work deserving of a reward ocracy: form of government
Background: The first publication using the word meritocracy was in the 1950s• Michael Young: The Rise of the Meritocracy
Evidence of meritocracy in history: Napoleon allowed men in his army to rise in rank based on their ability. This allowed men of lower classes opportunities to gain high ranks in the military along side those born of higher classes.
