Des classes sociales aux classes cognitives
The author pursues two objectives in this article. First, he attempts to show that, from now on, cognitive competencies will be more important than social class when it comes to landing a prestigious job. Five aspects are examined: social status and cognitive competencies, the Flynn effect, the interaction between heritability and environment-mentality, educational homogamy and globalization. Secondly, the author presents some social consequences of this state of affairs on society and educa- tion, including meritocratic ideology.
