Daniel Markovits
Daniel Markovits (born August 4, 1969) is the Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at the Yale Law School.[1]
He delivered the 2015 commencement speech at the Yale Law School, in which he argued that “meritocracy now constitutes a modern-day aristocracy, one might even say, purpose-built for a world in which the greatest source of wealth is not land or factories but human capital, the free labor of skilled workers.”[2] His forthcoming book, titled Snowball Inequality: Meritocracy and the Crisis of Capitalism, develops this argument.
