Myth of meritocracy is a phrase arguing that meritocracy, or achieving upward social mobility through one's own merits regardless of one's social position, is not widely attainable in capitalist societies because of inherent contradictions. Meritocracy is argued to be a myth because, despite being promoted as an open and accessible method of achieving upward class mobility under neoliberal or free market capitalism, wealth disparity and limited class mobility remain widespread, regardless of individual work ethic. Some scholars argue that the wealth disparity has even increased because the "myth" of meritocracy has been so effectively promoted and defended by the political and private elite through the media, education, corporate culture, and elsewhere. As described by economist Robert Rei

A meritocracia é considerada um mito porque, apesar de ser promovida como um método aberto e acessível de alcançar a mobilidade social ascendente sob o capitalismo neoliberal ou de livre mercado, a disparidade de riqueza e a mobilidade social limitada permanecem generalizadas, independentemente da ética de trabalho individual.

has abstract	Myth of meritocracy is a phrase arguing that meritocracy, or achieving upward social mobility through one's own merits regardless of one's social position, is not widely attainable in capitalist societies because of inherent contradictions. Meritocracy is argued to be a myth because, despite being promoted as an open and accessible method of achieving upward class mobility under neoliberal or free market capitalism, wealth disparity and limited class mobility remain widespread, regardless of individual work ethic. Some scholars argue that the wealth disparity has even increased because the "myth" of meritocracy has been so effectively promoted and defended by the political and private elite through the media, education, corporate culture, and elsewhere. As described by economist Robert Reich, many Americans still believe in meritocracy despite "the nation drifting ever-farther away from it."

Alguns estudiosos argumentam que a disparidade de riqueza até aumentou porque o "mito" da meritocracia foi tão efetivamente promovido e defendido pela elite política e privada por meio da mídia, educação, cultura corporativa e em outros lugares. Conforme descrito pelo economista , muitos estadunidenses ainda acreditam na meritocracia apesar de "a nação se afastar cada vez mais dela". (pt)
