Books by Garett Jones

Garett Jones, 10% Less Democracy: Why You Should Trust the Elites a Little More and the Masses a Little Less .

There is much more at the link, an excellent Conversation.  Here you can order Garett’s book 10% Less Democracy: Why You Should Trust the Elites a Little More and the Masses a Little Less .  You can read the introduction to the book on-line .

I will be doing a Conversation with him, in part around his forthcoming book 10% Less Democracy: Why You Should Trust the Elites a Little More and the Masses a Little Less , see earlier MR commentary .  Garett has another, earlier book The Hive Mind , numerous noteworthy articles, and he is my longstanding colleague.

You can pre-order the book here .

That is from a new paper by Lukas Althoff and Hugo Reichardt. Althoff is on the job market from Princeton, Reichardt is a third-year student from LSE.  Also a reminder that Garett Jones’s new book on Deep Roots, The Culture Transplant , is about to come out…

Addendum : Here is decent NYT coverage , with some photos, so far there are oddly few substantive reviews.  However Garett Jones in his wisdom likes it too , don’t forget he has a new book coming out in two weeks.

That is the new forthcoming book by Garett Jones (and his wisdom), I am very much looking forward to reading/rereading the final version of this one!  (See the link for my blurb based on a pre-pub reading.)  Here is the Amazon summary:

5. There is an extended response to Garett Jones on IQ which I do not feel I can summarize well.  Toward the end, it is noted that babies adopted from poorer countries into richer countries typically do very well later in life.

I am very excited to report that next week will see the publication of Hive Mind: How Your Nation’s IQ Matters So Much More Than Your Own , by my colleague Garrett Jones, with Stanford University Press.  This will go down as one of the social science books of the year.
