Reviews

.,."[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
