Social scientists and statisticians respond to The Bell Curve (1994) in
Intelligence, Genes and Success, not so much to its views on the relationship
between IQ and social success as to the quality of its science. While sharing
the consensus on growing inequalities in America, the authors’ views differ
radically on the cause of the unequal struggle and its remedies. Edited by
Bernie Devlin, Stephen Fienberg, Daniel Resnick and Kathryn Roeder, published by
Springer-Verlag, £19/$27, ISBN 0387949860.
