Any culture, by its attained complication of jobs & roles, presents a demand for a particular distribution of intelligence endowments in its citizens. Behavior genetics research has now shown that fluid intelligence is substantially inherited, so the distribution curve of supply of intelligence is decided by birth rates across different intelligence levels. Education can shift the mean of this curve but not its form. This is an era of dislocation of the curves of supply & demand of human intelligence due to: (1) increasing complications of occupations & roles, & (2) decreasing supply, from a dysgenic birth rate, of intelligence at upper levels & increasing supply at borderline employable levels. The market value of people, like that of goods, is determined by the ratio of supply to demand. The dislocation of the curves produces a willingness to pay very well for top intelligence, but very badly for low intelligence. Humanitarian motives, unionization, etc, preclude direct adjustment of wages by market realities, but the dislocation is not removed -- only translated into secondary symptoms. If the curve of demand for intelligence, by cultural developments, is indeed shifting to higher levels, the only escape from the dislocation, & its manifold evils, is a switch from a dysgenic to a eugenic population growth. 4 Figures, 18 References.
