Son Also Rises Surnames and the History of Social Mobility

I hated this book for years. But I hated it with enough passion to buy it again and again to gift it to friends. Ever wanted to exploit a certain group financially? Then dehumanize them in the name of science first. Bonus points if you can claim that it is a biological study. The best part is, that just like Clark you don't even need to know anything about genetics. I mean, why wasting your time to take a seminary in epigenetics at med school if you can just wing it? Clark is part of the circle that sparked the so called "New York times scandal" that claimed that Ashkenazi Jews are superior to Sephardics. So the guy is a real sweetheart. He is also a member of a growing group of economists abusing their academic titles to pass as experts in genetics to the unsuspecting audience. So why do I recommend reading it anyway? Because you got to know your enemies. The book is a first hand exercises to study the cheap tricks that modern conservatives are deploying to cut the salaries of minorities. After all, if they are done with that they will likely come for your cushy middle class salary next. After all, they are quite skilled at using their pseudo-science as a weapon. So why would they stop at minorities if there is money to make by throwing you under the bus too? Hey, it's a free market so don't cry if you are loosing, right? Better learn their tactics while you still can. The question isn't if they are coming for your salary too, but how fast.
