Ross Douthat continues the banter among moderate conservative pundits (which includes his own column on Sunday) over Charles Murray's new book "Coming Apart
." In a blog post titled "What Charles Murray Gets Right" Douthat calls the book, despite his criticism of the 15% of the book that offers overly-libertarian conclusions, "one of the strongest and most lucid explorations of the existing data on the long-simmering social crisis in working-class life, and the extent to which American society’s recovery from the dislocations of the 1960s and 1970s has been a recovery primarily for the upper middle class." Sounds good, it's ordered on my Kindle and I'm looking forward to getting to it later this week.
