The (UK)
Times seems to be getting frisky in its old age. A few days ago there was Matthew Syed's article on race and IQ (see a few posts down), and today the
Times has an
article by Gregory Clark, summarising the thesis of his book
Farewell to Alms. I don't personally find the thesis very convincing (was England really so different from other European countries in its demographic patterns?) but it is certainly intriguing.
