Does this book hold any merit?

i heard they received some criticism for saying more abortions = less crime = better society. But the criticizing naggers are probably liberaltards anyways.

What do you think about their podcast?

It's kind of mind blowing.

More abortions means less blacks

more abortions= correction for dunning kruger effect where unsuitable parents don't know they're unsuitable

I started this as an e-book yesterday. They do give the abortion explanation without really backing it with anything solid, at the same time saying that everyone else's explanation must be invalid. But it's just a single thing like that, most of the time they make sense and focus on less controversial claims. It's nice to see the power of statistics without being forced to study maths. So far I only frowned at the abortion claim, the rest seems resonable.

I loved that book, I remember I bought it in Spain before a 15 hour flight and read it all in it.

Well the data is backing their points up. It's a pretty fun book to read before you do any econometrics.

Its pretty common knowlegde that higher abortion rate will normally be used by poor people => less poor people => better society. (And since blacks are more likely to be poor etc etc)

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
