I attempted to send this once already but it apparently got lost in
cyberspace.
The January (vol.54, #1) issue of American Psychologist has a
fascinating article by James Flynn (of Flynn effect fame) titled
Searching for Justice: The Discovery of IQ Gains Over Time. He examines
the growth in IQ scores over time and the implications of this growth
for heritability of intelligence and group differences in IQ. He also
discusses the meritocracy argument of Hernstein and Murray. The article
is quite interesting and thought-provoking, although, probably because
of space limitation, hard to follow (at least for me) in a few places.
I highly recommend it.
