This book challenges the conventional wisdom that belief in meritocracy is a widespread and effective ideology that bolsters the legitimacy of corporations within capitalist societies. The author's research presents a framework that considers the experiences of workers as they navigate advancement contests within organizations. Drawing on various sociological traditions, the author argues that individual beliefs about merit vary depending on how employees fare in their respective contests. Those who are less successful are less likely to believe in meritocracy because their experiences suggest otherwise. Thus, the book reveals the complexities and nuances that exist within belief systems, particularly in relation to meritocracy and legitimation. It highlights the importance of considering the individual experiences of workers when understanding the ideological underpinnings of capitalism.
