The discussion of Charles Murray continues in comments to my earlier post, and some interesting things have been said there. Also, some fairly loathesome things-- you take the bad with the good.
For those who can't get enough Murray-bashing, let me also point to a few other people:
- Dave's collecting suggestions of things that Murray ought to read.
- Brad DeLong helps Dave out.
- Ezra Klein has a comprehensive round-up of links discussing Murray's various failures.
I'm closing comments on this post, not because I want to suppress discussion, but because I'd like to consolidate it in one thread. If you want to comment, please do so at the original post.
I promise I'll talk about physics tomorrow.
