...what we have here is a youthful, healthy, highly-skilled, and economically 
desperate pool of surplus labor. This is to the benefit of corporations, 
educational institutions, NGOs, the low-paid service sector, the military, and 
the prison-industrial complex. Of course, in spite of the global spirit of 
desperate competition, winners and losers remain predictable in aggregate on the 
basis of their economic backgrounds, albeit with notable exceptions that 
reinforce the rule. All of this constitutes the so-called “meritocracy” in the 
neoliberal era.
