Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: meritocrats
In fact, for [meritocrats] to abandon exams is selfdefeating. Scores may be correlated with privilege, but they are probably the hardest part of an admissions application to warp with money. Children of the rich can get ample help in completing their coursework (which may receive inflated grades), hire professional writers to “edit” their essays and even spend lavishly on consultants who will help craft a delectable smorgasbord of extracurricular activities.

Aug 20, 2022 — Meritocracy中文有好几个译法：贤能政治、唯才主义、任人唯贤、精英政治、精英主义、绩效主义等，哪个最好？“贤能主义”不错，但似乎用的人很少。
