IQ and Global Inequality

About “IQ and Global Inequality”

IQ and Global Inequality is a 2006 book by psychologist Richard Lynn and political scientist Tatu Vanhanen. It is a follow-up to their 2002 book IQ and the Wealth of Nations, which argued that differences in economic development between nations are partly explained by national IQ levels. The book expands on this argument and addresses criticisms. It was published by Washington Summit Publishers, a group associated with white nationalism and eugenics. The authors maintain that national intelligence differences contribute to global economic disparities. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
