Fourth of a six-part series in which political gurus take part in a studio debate on their different ideas for the future. Tonight's guest is Charles Murray, one of America's most controversial and influential social scientists, who attracted attention by claiming the welfare state created the poverty it was supposed to solve, giving rise to a dependent underclass. Murray caused a further furore by suggesting that IQ varied not only between individuals but also amongst racial groups. Joining the debate are host, political commentator Andrew Marr, and Professor Brian Barry from the London School of Economics.

Every time Marr speaks he tries to smear and dicredit Murray. Amazingly brazen performance.

I agree that there are superior human beings at the top of a specific social and economic structure. But in a country like the US which is made of different ethnic groups, we cannot predict the well being of a person based on the same test. In the other hand, the different iq scores could represent that not all human ancestors civilizations started at the same date or had the same structure. The proof of this is heredity, how can you excel in mathematics if your ethnic group never had the need to interact with the subject. You cannot learn numbers, if you first dont learn how to speak.

The welfare state never helps. It is not just about illegitimate children or single mothers. At times welfare state capitalism benefits the weakest elements of the society at the expense of those who are genetically stronger. The State should not enter into the economy unless absolutely warranted by the circumstances such as the Great Depression. We can continue to argue more on this subject.
