Merit or Luck? (In-Person)

What are the roles of hard work and luck in societal success? That is the question we'll discuss this week.

The writer, Cesar Monagas, claims luck plays a significant role in moving up the economic ladder because nobody has control of their starting point. Monagas also believes meritocracy is a myth that needs to be dismantled because it perpetuates systemic barriers for low-income and immigrant families from getting ahead.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion on luck and meritocracy as we drink and dine at Golden Road Brewing in Anaheim.
