charles murray was about to give up on his career as a conservative writer and try publishing a thriller when plutocrats lifted him up with their grant money, oh my god

Frustrated and just scraping by, he was about to try writing a thriller novel in order to make ends meet when his application for a job at the Heritage Foundation caught the eye of the conservative philanthropy world. Soon, he was the beneficiary of its growing network. Heritage placed an antiwelfare piece by Murray on the op-ed page of The Wall Stret Journal. This sparked a grant from the Olin Foundation that enabed him to work full-time on what became his pathbreaking 1984 book, Losing Ground, even though he hadn't previously considered turning his research into a book. "It was a classic case of philanthropic entrepreneurship," Murray says. The hidden force behind Murray was Joyce, the Olin Foundation's enfant terrible. "Mike Joyce was one of the most influential obscure people of the last century," says Murray.
