The view expressed here is that in a more general process ( post-democratic ), this term has an ideological nature, in the sense that it actually functions as a mask of inequality. Therefore, the debate in Italy is reconstructed, considering some mainstream texts, but also some interventions that deconstruct the ideology. %K meritocracy %K post-democracy %K neo-liberalism %K hegemony %K ideology %U http://www.seejps.ro/volume-i-number-i-democracy-and-civil-society/15-per-un-analisi-critica-del-concetto-di-meritocrazia-come-ideologia-neo-liberista.html
