Description

"This book is about differences in intellectual capacity among people and groups, and what those differences mean for America's future. The relationships we will be discussing are among the most sensitive in contem- porary America so sensitive that hardly anyone writes or talks about them in public. It is not for lack of infor- mation, as you will see."

"To try to come to grips with the nation's problems without understanding the role of intelligence is to see through a glass darkly indeed, to grope with symptoms instead of causes, to stumble into supposed remedies that have no chance of working."

"We are not indifferent to the ways in which this book, wrongly construed, might do harm. We have worried about them from the day we set to work. But there cรกn be no real progress in solving America's social problems when they are as misperceived as they are today. What good can come of understanding the relationship of intelligence to social structure and public policy? Little good can come without it."
