Charles Murray

Charles Murray is an American political scientist and author known for his controversial ideas on social policy, intelligence, and class structure. He gained prominence with his book "The Bell Curve," co-authored in 1994, which discusses the relationship between intelligence, socioeconomic status, and social outcomes. Murray argues that cognitive ability impacts success in society and has stirred debate over race and intelligence. His work often critiques welfare policies and advocates for limited government intervention. While some praise his research, others criticize it for perceived biases and implications regarding social inequality.
