To the editor:
It is disappointing to see Inside Higher Ed devote space to extending publicity for a book with harmful, extremist views about the aging of our country’s population. Matt Reed’s June 22 piece, “‘Gerontocracy in America’: A Review,” focuses on the newly published work by Samuel Moyn and gives him credit for “making a serious attempt to address a real problem.”
The supposed “problem,” the premise of Moyn’s book, is the ageist trope that older people uniquely and disproportionately contribute to certain problems in American society.
