This book looks at human capital development and provides an
explanation for why cognitive development varies among ethnic
groups. The book uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine
inter-generational ethnic poverty. It puts forth an argument that
the ethnic poverty gap can be reduced, and to do so we need a
broader view of human capital which considers the match between the
nature of the economy and the specific capabilities needed. The
book focuses on the interrelationship between developmental
psychology and socio-economic status and argues that the most
important relationship in a knowledge economy is actually the one
between a parent and a child. The book begins by looking at
cultures and assimilation and investigates the link between
education, culture and socio-economic status. It also attempts to
answer the question of what the link between culture, parents and
children's ability is and why ethnic groups vary in their
nurturing. It delves into how parenting and cognitive development
are interrelated. This thought-provoking book concludes with an
emphasis on nurture and how it may alleviate ethnic poverty and
shape social policies. The book provides a strong thesis to counter
explanations based on racial and genetic superiority.
