Measured Lies: The Bell Curve Examined
- Measured Lies: The Bell Curve Examined
-
Measured Lies: The Bell Curve Examined is a notable collection of essays on pathological science and pseudoscientific methods used in the science of sociology, both widely praised and derided by academicians reviewing it.[1] The essays respond to arguments in the book The Bell Curve. The essays introduce the expression “hoodoo science” as a synonym for “pseudoscience” in sociology.[2] Michael Eric Dyson, author, radio host, National Public Radio, CNN, and Real Time with Bill Maher commentator, and professor of sociology at Georgetown University, called it "the most thorough and cogent analysis of the tangle of pseudo-science and moral dishonesty that comprises the frozen heart of 'The Bell Curve'."[1]
