Review excerpt:

As Murray grabs airtime and shelf space, his counterparts on the intellectual left fret endlessly about the limitations of Bill Clinton or anxiously guard their multicultural ramparts. Where are the Charles Murrays of the left--writers who can look the nation straight in the face and tell it uncomfortable tales, but who also have a compelling vision of what the Constitution calls "the general Welfare"? Until they emerge, the right will continue to dominate the debate about our common future.

Charles Murray is the W. H. Brady Scholar in Culture and Freedom at AEI.
