'This book is a kind of autobiography in which Flynn, one of the most interesting and independent thinkers of his generation, offers his overall view of the United States: its past, its values, its problems, and its best possible future. It contains the latest on the race and IQ debate and a fascinating chapter on Leo Strauss and his followers.' Thomas W. Pogge, Columbia University
'Flynn brings moral philosophy to bear on America's political and social malaise. The result is a unique and challenging vision of an American future in which 'justice for all' has a significantly broader and more substantial meaning than it does in practice now.' William Dickens, Northeastern University and The Brookings Institution
'For decades, Professor Flynn has been among the most honorable and distinguished commentators in the world on issues of race, class, and psychology. His tenacious study of the science of intelligence and the powerful and scrupulous arguments he has produced have undermined many a fallacious theory connecting race and IQ. In Where Have All the Liberals Gone?, Flynn brings his own formidable intelligence to bear on the central problem afflicting American politics and society - the enormous disparity between the conditions under which members of different social groups participate in the pursuit of happiness. Flynn's understanding of social and psychological trends and the power and care with which he articulates our ideals of equality and freedom give him unique authority to address these issues about inequality.' Jeremy Waldron, University Professor, New York University Law School
'... Flynn combines political and moral philosophy with social psychology to argue passionately against the idea that we should rank races and classes. ... he constructs a compelling case that any racial differences in IQ are caused by environment, not genetics ... Flynn dissects, with scholarly precision, the four problems blighting US society. ... His critique is sharp and convincing ... Flynn's arguments are intimately bound up not just with empirical investigation but with passionate philosophical arguments ...' Tribune
James R. Flynn's latest book offers a controversial left wing discussion arguing that the gap in IQs between black and white Americans is an environmental rather than genetic factor. A must read for all those who want to keep up to date with the IQ debate.
