Businesses find automation, such as robotic employees, a big asset in terms of productivity and efficiency.

But in recent years, robotics has had increasing impacts on unemployment, not just of manual labour, as computers are rapidly handling some white-collar and service-sector work.

For years politicians have promised workers that they would bring back their jobs by clamping down on trade, off shoring and immigration.

Economists, based on their research, say that the bigger threat to jobs now is not globalisation but automation.

Their business courses now largely cater to the growing demand from China Inc which has become more global, richer and ready to recruit from this sinocentric student body.

But the raft of recent books about the limits of merit is an important correction to the arrogance of contemporary entitlement and an opportunity to reassert the importance of luck, or grace, in our thinking.

Meritocracy as an organising principle is an inevitable function of a free society, as we are designed to see our achievements as worthy of reward.

And that in turn should increase our humility and the respect with which we treat our fellow citizens, helping ultimately to build a more compassionate society.
