书籍简介

本书对二十世纪美国教育程度和工资结构的共同演变进行了细致的历史分析。作者提出，二十世纪不仅是美国世纪，也是人力资本世纪。也就是说，美国的教育体系使美国成为世界上富有的国家。与大多数欧洲国家相比，美国的教育体系一直不够精英。到 1900 年，美国开始在中学阶段对大众进行教育，而不仅仅是在 19 世纪取得巨大成功的小学阶段。

该书认为，技术变革、教育和不平等参与了一种竞赛。在二十世纪的前八十年里，受过教育的工人的增长高于对他们的需求。其结果是提高了大多数人的收入，减少了不平等现象。然而，自 1980 年左右以来，情况恰恰相反。在教育发展放缓的同时，不平等现象也在加剧。作者讨论了造成这种情况的复杂原因，以及可以采取哪些措施来改善这种情况。

This book provides a careful historical analysis of the co-evolution of educational attainment and the wage structure in the United States through the twentieth century. The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century. That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world. Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most European nations. By 1900 the U.S. had begun to educate its masses at the secondary level, not just in the primary schools that had remarkable success in the nineteenth century.

The book argues that technological change, education, and inequality have been involved in a kind of race. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boosting income for most people and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since about 1980. This educational slowdown was accompanied by rising inequality. The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.
