Reader Reviews:
An excellent, thorough, accessible critique of The Bell Curv (5/8 people found this helpful)
Fischer et al. launch a reasoned yet devastating critique on methodological grounds of Herrnstein & Murray's infamous _The Bell Curve._ The first half of the book details technical errors and ommissions from TBC, offering three distinct arguments against Herrnstein & Murray's basic claims, all using the same data they used in _The Bell Curve._ Then the second half of the book offers a substantive proposal for understanding income and wealth inequality in the United States, rooted in the same data Herrnstein & Murray used. Highly recommended.
