The Pursuit of Inequality, Volume 1A brilliant egalitarian refutation of the whole range of popular arguments--genetic, racial, sexual, political, economic, philosophical--promoting social inequality. Green lays bare the errors, speciousness, and fraudulence of assaults on the egalitarian ideal ranging from the biological and genetic theorizing of Arthur Jensen and Richard Herrnstein to the social arguments of Irving Kristol and Nathan Glazer; from the economic writings of Milton Friedman to the philosophical arguments of Robert Nozick and the sexual inegalitarianism of George Gilder and Steven Goldberg. |
