Nattily packaged-the cover sports a Roy Lichtensteinesque image of an
economist in Dick Tracy garb-and cleverly written, this book applies
basic economic theory to such modern phenomena as Starbucks' pricing
system and Microsoft's stock values. While the concepts explored are
those encountered in Microeconomics 101, Harford gracefully explains
abstruse ideas like pricing along the demand curve and game theory
using real world examples without relying on graphs or jargon.
The Bell Curve. Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life
According to
The Bell Curve, Intelligence and Class Structure in AmericanLife, by
Richard J. Herrnstein, Ph.D. Psychology, Harvard University,and Charles
Murray, Ph.D. Political Science, M.I.T., black IQ scores areso far
below white IQ scores in their distribution as to preclude
usefulAffirmative Action Programs. The reason? Only 29,000 African
Americans haveIQ levels above 130 points, the minimal level found
suitable for many executivesin business. With 15+ million businesses in
America, this leaves fewer than1 theoretically qualified African
American for each 500 businesses to serveas executives; however, more
than 20,000 of these 29,000 African Americansare under 21 years of age
and one-half of those precious few 9,000 AfricanAmericans who are
presently above 21 years of age will never earn a
universityundergraduate degree. That leaves just 4,500 African
Americans over 130IQ points with a university degree to share among 15+
million companies.this is why Affirmative Action has aided white women
and asians in achievinghigh promotions more than it has African
Americans.
