Does anyone?
Here are some, can’t say they carry the same level of clarity or weight.
excellence, merit-based / merited, self-determination, deserving /
deservingness, worthiness / being worthy of, getting one's due, be entitled /
qualified to
I suspect, without research data to back it up, that anything that
implies that those with decision making power got there primarily
through their own merit/deserts/worth etc. would have the same harmful
effects as a claim to be a meritocracy. I prefer the direction that
presents meritocracy as something towards which we can strive, but that
has not been achieved and may never be fully achieved. Luck and having
the right parents will go on being important.
