It tackles an important, overlooked and underappreciated topic surrounding a clearly defined puzzle. It supports a logically sound argument with a variety of quality empirical research spanning several disciplines and decades.--Zachary Gochenour "<i>The Review of Austrian Economics</i>"<br><br>As someone who is routinely baffled by the prolixity of economics texts, I found it hugely refreshing to read Jones's clear, engaging prose . . . [<i>Hive Mind</i>] is enormously more accessible and enjoyable than previous books on national IQ differences.--Stuart J. Ritchie "<i>Intelligence</i>"<br><br>For over 100 years, we've neglected the importance of national differences in our cognitive progress; this book is a welcome antidote and an eye opener.--James R. Flynn "University of Otago"<br><br>Garett Jones' <i>Hive Mind</i> is the very best introduction to a simple truth: The smarts of the people around you are way more important than you think. Much of our world is shaped by this fact, which no one has talked about--until now.--Tyler Cowen, Professor of Economics "George Mason University"<br><br>On balance this is a notable text--perhaps 2016's most important economics book, both for the development specialist and the general reader.--Fred Thompson "<i>Governance</i>"<br><br>Those of us who live in the world's richest countries like to believe that it is our own intellect and ingenuity that accounts for our success. But what if our own intelligence matters less than the average skill of the country in which we live? <i>Hive Mind</i> offers a bracing account of why some countries are so rich while others are so poor, and how we might foster more cooperative and, ultimately, more prosperous societies.--Reihan Salam "Executive Editor, <i>National Review</i>"<br><br>Whereas individuals' IQs are less strongly related to their performance, the relationship between national averages of IQ and performance indicators such as gross domestic product is robust. But, the beneficial indicators are not limited to economic statistics; they include better public health, higher levels of education and skills, patience, prudence and a willingness to save for the futureJones concludes his book with the challenge to discover underlying factors that enhance a wide range of cognitive skills.
