Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy is a book written by MSNBC's Christopher Hayes, discussing examples of how meritocracy is exploited in modern America. He argues that there are many competing forces working within America that are causing the financial crisis, elite crisis, media crisis, and, what he sees as the most ominous problem facing the globe, the environmental global warming crisis.
Kirkus Reviews called the book "forcefully written" and "provocative".[1] Aaron Swartz described the book as "compellingly readable, impossibly erudite, and—most stunningly of all—correct".[2]
The book has been reviewed by sources such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Slate.[3][4][5]
