The 'Problem of Equality' revisited: a response to Kevin Lamb

Article Abstract:

Some of Kevin Lamb's declarations in the essay 'The Problem of Equality' are debatable. Lamb contends that Richard Heirstein and Charles Murray made a mistake in their work 'The Bell Curve' when they drew conclusions that the data they had gathered had failed to substantiate. Lamb's assertion that biological differences are central to racial inequality is founded on empirical research that invites skepticism, as well as on false statements.
