Charles Alan Murray is an American libertarian conservative political scientist and author known for his controversial works on social policy.
His book Losing Ground (1984) influenced welfare reform, while The Bell Curve (1994) sparked debate on intelligence and social outcomes.
Murray's writing often challenges conventional wisdom on welfare, education, and social programs.
He argues that many government efforts to improve outcomes for disadvantaged groups are ineffective.
His work has been both influential and divisive, with supporters praising his data-driven approach and critics questioning his methodologies and conclusions.
