How to Avoid a PhD (Penalty for Hardworking Dummies): Debunking the Meritocracy Myth

This book is the result of decades-long academic research and 25 years of emergence in the

myth of the American dream. In reality, a small minority of ultra-rich corporations have complete

control over the government and mercilessly exploit the majority of Americans. The author

debunks the illusion of meritocracy, heavily promoted by ubiquitous propaganda. Through the

mainstream media, PR, and academia, the legend is sold to the American people and the world

as an equal opportunity for all. Packaged in glamorous fabricated stories, the myth is glorified

by Hollywood and legitimized by multiple mainstream news channels that are owned by five

companies, which control the narrative. At the same time, higher education is designed to

enslave graduates with enormous debts in order to keep them obedient. In the complete

absence of adequate opposition, these institutions create and maintain a plutocracy while

purporting to represent freedom and democracy.
