HUMAN CAPITAL - GARY S BECKER KARTONIERT (TB)

Human Capital is Becker's classic study of how investment in an individual's education and
training is similar to business investments in equipment. Recipient of the 1992 Nobel Prize in
Economic Science  Gary S. Becker is a pioneer of applying economic analysis to human behavior
in such areas as discrimination  marriage  family relations  and education. Becker's research
on human capital was considered by the Nobel committee to be his most noteworthy contribution
to economics. This expanded edition includes four new chapters  covering recent ideas about
human capital  fertility and economic growth  the division of labor  economic considerations
within the family  and inequality in earnings. Critics have charged that Mr. Becker's style of
thinking reduces humans to economic entities. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mr.
Becker gives people credit for having the power to reason and seek out their own best
destiny.-Wall Street Journal
