Meritocracy: Picking people based on talent rather than on class privilege or wealth.
Problem: Privilege and wealth create more opportunities for building talent.
Result: People with more privilege and wealth build talent faster.

There are no easy answers to this issue.
Ignoring merit risks picking incompetent people.
Focusing solely on merit means the poor and less fortunate may not even get a fair shot to prove themselves.
