Winston has been critical of right libertarian thinkers such as Murray Rothbard, Charles Murray, Ayn Rand, Friedrich von Hayek, Mitlon Friedman and James M. Buchanan, arguing that they have misappropriated IQ to promote racist policies.[6] He has been a noted critic of Canadian race scientist and psychologist J. Philippe Rushton.[7][8]
