Doha, Qatar. - Thursday, 13. November 2025


Global thinkers and students in Doha engage in a spirited debate over fairness, privilege and the meaning of success.



Can success ever be truly earned? In its latest flagship episode, Qatar Foundation’s Doha Debates brings together global thinkers and students for a thought-provoking conversation on whether hard work and talent still determine who rises, or whether “earned success” conceals deeper inequities.

Bryan Caplan, Professor of Economics at George Mason University, offers a contrasting view. “Meritocracy is prett ... Read more »
