.,."[Itzkoff's] underlying premise is that national survival is
constructed of three building blocks: educational achievement,
economic prosperity, and social stability....With his background in
music, philosophy, and educational theory, Itzkoff analyzes
America's economic decline, educational wreckage, and unraveling of
social bonds. For him, the real problem is that all the U.S.
population derives from a 'lower level of the intellectual, and
thus, the social scale.' Upper-division undergraduate through
faculty."-Choice
.,."Mr. Itzkoff places most of the blame for America's alleged
intellectual decline on what he sees as an economically and
intellectually elite cast of misguided liberals. They have isolated
themselves from American society, he says, by their paternalistic
treatment of the underclass, by discounting the importance of
traditional family values, and by failing to raise enough bright,
educated children to sustain national competence."-The New York
Times Book Review

?Itzkoff traces the economic and political decline of the U.S. to
the diminishing of intelligence in the younger population. They are
from the lower end of the intellectual, and so the social, scale he
says, and cannot be educated even if the schools were perfect. His
solution is to encourage the finest people to raise lots of
children in traditional families and to discourage the less gifted
from reproducing. All voluntary, I'm sure he would
insist.?-Reference & Research Book News
