"The Way Back makes a persuasive case that social mobility, fundamental to the American Dream, has eroded, and that people both on the left and right need to deal seriously with the problem of inequality. F.H. Buckley marshals tremendous data and insight in a compelling study."
Francis Fukuyama "Inequality and immobility will be the rallying cry from the left as ... Read morethe 2016 elections approach. That's a great reason to put The Way Back at the top of your reading list. F.H. Buckley offers a provocative and important commentary on the underlying problems
dysfunctional schools, barriers to entrepreneurship, a broken immigration system, sclerotic government, special interest politics, and more. He dissects who's to blame, what to do, and what not to do
with scholarship, wit, and insight."
Robert A. Levy, chairman of the Cato Institute "Another excellent book! It is full of marvelously shrewd observation, as well as scholarship, both aimed at subjects of the greatest importance."
Jonathan Clark "The Way Back demonstrates that inequality and immobility are real and serious
and that nominally 'progressive' policies are a big part of the problem. The problem, moreover, is not unintended consequences
but rather intended consequences. With his signature combination of erudition, imagination, and wit, F.H. Buckley has produced a game-changing contribution to the inequality literature."
