      Michael Young christened the word "Meritocracy," believing that the oligarchy of the future will consist of a merit based (IQ+Effort=Merit) ruling class. Projecting himself into the year 2034, the author of this sociological satire shows how society will be remolded into one where one must show merit to advance.
