Merit, Meritocracy, and the Meritocratic State

This book presents a comprehensive blueprint for a more just and meritocratic society, introducing a system of 50 interconnected "inventions" that collectively form a "Grand Conclusion."

Unlike a traditional technical breakthrough, this constitutes a far more expansive invention—encompassing a new business model, economic order, and educational framework. The system also integrates public and private software, a legally issued currency, a private banking system, and sophisticated algorithms and mathematical computations. The author argues that while meritocracy is deeply ingrained in the American ethos, it remains a "ghost"—a concept that is rarely studied or understood in depth. This work seeks to capture that ghost, exploring its brilliance, its flaws, and its breathtaking potential.

The author believes that sharing these ideas is a significant step, as the "Merit Package"—the first of the 50 inventions—could itself generate 20 to 30 patents and related intellectual properties.

Collectively, the ideas and inventions detailed in this book represent an investment opportunity with the potential to generate tens of trillions in annual revenue, while positively impacting the GDP of nations and steering nation-states in a more prosperous direction.
