Episode Synopsis

The U.S. cultivates a belief in meritocracy: People get what they deserve.
Whatever we have, we earned. The problem, of course, is that it’s not true.
In this episode, I talk with with Dr. Peggy McIntosh, the scholar who has
done more than anyone else in the past 30 years to advance the concept of
privilege as crucial for understanding and dismantling our pervasive myth
of meritocracy.
