KEYNES AND PUBLIC POLICY AFTER FIFTY YEARS: VOLUME II: THEORIES AND METHOD

---

Mark Blaug's important contribution to the economics of education has ranged widely over human capital theory, educational policy in advanced societies and the problem of educated unemployment in the Third World.

This book presents in one volume his most significant work and reflects the passage from the optimism of the 1960s to the pessimism of the 1980s. This has made a profound impact on the subject as well as the author's attitude to the relationship between education and economic growth.

Professor Blaug first focuses on the theoretical basis of the economics of education namely human capital theory, the screening hypothesis and credentialism. He then considers educational policy in advanced economies with special reference to recurrent education, student loans, private schools and fees for overseas students.Finally, he addresses the educational priorities in developing countries particularly the vexed question of educated unemployment.

The book includes some of the most significant work during the past 20 years and will be an essential reference point in the current debate about investment in education and its relationship to economic growth and employment.
