內容簡介
《20世紀美國頂尖人才的人力資本形成》內容簡介：美國經濟史是一個成功的故事，一段神奇的歷程：二百多年間的巨大增長與發展使一個由移民拓居地合併而成的國家躍居世界霸主地位。回望20世紀，美國在經濟的眾多領域始終實力超群，從而贏得“美國世紀”的聲望。
經濟學家們普遍認為，一個國家的經濟優勢和發展潛力與其人力資本總量直接相關，人力資本投資是經濟發展與社會進步的一個最重要的動力之源。作為蘊涵在人身上的知識、技能及特質.人力資本主要通過教育、培訓、遷移、做中學等途徑獲得。人力資本的形成是國家、組織和個人有目的投資的結果，是人力資本生產制度的產物。近年來盛行的人力資本理論為本文探究20世紀美國經濟強盛的根源提供了堅實的理論根據。
強大的經濟實力體現了美國的人力資本優勢，而其核心因素是作為人力資本載體的人。在過去的一百年中，成千上萬的勞動者為美國的繁榮興旺付出了聰明才智，而他們中有一小部分人在各自的領域發揮了重要作用並產生巨大影響。本文認為，20世紀美國的超強地位取決於一大批頂尖人才的傑出貢獻，因此，這些“關鍵的少數”（me Vital Few）社會英才值得特別關注。
