Nations can vary greatly in their wealth, democratic rights and the
wellbeing of their citizens. These gaps are often obvious, and by
studying the flow of immigration one can easily predict people's
wants and needs. But why are there also large differences in the
level of education indicating disparities in cognitive ability? How
are they related to a country's economic, political and cultural
development? Researchers in the paradigms of economics, psychology,
sociology, evolution and cultural studies have tried to find
answers for these hotly debated issues. In this book, Heiner
Rindermann establishes a new model: the emergence of a
burgher-civic world, supported by long-term background factors,
furthered education and thinking. The burgher-civic world initiated
a reciprocal development changing society and culture, resulting in
past and present cognitive capital and wealth differences. This is
an important text for graduate students and researchers in a wide
range of fields, including economics, psychology, sociology and
political science, and those working on economic growth, human
capital formation and cognitive development.
