Human Capital and Institutions is concerned with human capital in
its many dimensions and brings to the fore the role of political,
social, and economic institutions in human capital formation and
economic growth. Written by leading economic historians, including
pioneers in historical research on human capital, the chapters in
this text offer a broad-based view of human capital in economic
development. The issues they address range from nutrition in
pre-modern societies to twentieth-century advances in medical care;
from the social institutions that provided temporary relief to
workers in the middle and lower ranges of the wage scale to the
factors that affected the performance of those who reached the
pinnacle in business and art; and from political systems that
stifled the advance of literacy to those that promoted public and
higher education. Just as human capital has been a key to economic
growth, so has the emergence of appropriate institutions been a key
to the growth of human capital.
