It is shown that every Banach space which has a quotient space not linearly injectable into \(\ell^{\infty}(A)\) contains a biorthogonal system of cardinality \(K>| A|\). The converse holds if X has property (\({\mathcal C})\) of Corson (i.e., every family of convex closed bounded sets with empty intersection contains a countable subfamily with empty intersection). This yields a quite complete description of biorthogonal systems in weak-star analytic subspaces of \(\ell^{\infty}(N)\) and finds an application in renormings of Banach spaces.
