Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950-1980
(Basic Books, 1984)

by Charles Murray

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

“A remarkable book. Future discussions of social policy cannot proceed without raking the arguments and evidence of this book into account.”
– James S. Coleman, University of Chicago

 “Without bile and without rhetoric it lays out a stark truth that must be faced: Two decades of well-meaning programs to erase racism and poverty in the U.S. have left those at the very bottom of the ladder worse off than ever.”     – Daniel B. Moskowitz, Business Week

“Charles Murray will infuriate people. But if they read carefully, he will also make them think.”
– Ken Auletta, author of The Underclass

“A great book.”    – Richard Vigilante, Wall Street Journal
