Harvard Law School Professor, Lani Guinier and author of the new book, The Tyranny of the Meritocracy: Democratizing Higher Education in America explains the distinction between testing merit and democratic merit. Why standardized testing is a measure of wealth and not merit. Why testing is not a measure of talent. Class and college admissions. Also how and why we need to rethink merit. Why Libertarians and progressives do not have the same views on decriminalizing drugs. On The Fun Half: why there is no capitalism without regulation.
