章節(jié)摘錄

　　The American ideal is not a classless society， but rather a society in which individuals are free to get ahead on the basis of merit， talent， hard work， and good luck. So this study places under spotlight the American elites of science， business and politics in the 20th century. A great many books summarize the lives of these celebrities from the cradle to the grave， but these compendiums are totally unanalytical. Review of literature shows that the amount of scholarly attention paid to these three groups of elites has varied greatly. On the whole， the entrepreneurial adventure and boldness of power of American business giants have of course inspired vast literature， and American federal executives comprising the powerful bureaucratic elite have received considerable attention， but investigations on the nations great scientists were quite limited. While thousands of books and essays examined various dimensions of these great men and women， there is hardly any study at all that has put them in human capital perspectives. Still， a number of relevant and significant works are worth mentioning.

編輯推薦

　　回望20世紀，美國在經(jīng)濟的眾多領(lǐng)域始終實力超群，從而贏得“美國世紀”的聲望。強大的經(jīng)濟實力體現(xiàn)了美國的人力資本優(yōu)勢，而其核心因素是作為人力資本載體的人。20世紀美國的超強地位正是取決于一大批頂尖人才的杰出貢獻，這就是80／20效率法則，或稱帕累托效率定律，因此，這些“關(guān)鍵的少數(shù)”（the Vital Few）社會英才值得特別關(guān)注?！　　?0世紀美國頂尖人才的人力資本形成》把20世紀奠定美國經(jīng)濟強盛地位的關(guān)鍵少數(shù)人才鎖定為功勛卓著的科學家、企業(yè)家與政治家三個精英群體，因為科學家的研究成果提高生產(chǎn)效率、推動社會進步，企業(yè)家創(chuàng)造財富、提供就業(yè)、繁榮市場，政治家的高瞻遠矚和英明決策為經(jīng)濟發(fā)展保駕護航?！　　?0世紀美國頂尖人才的人力資本形成》的創(chuàng)新之處在于方法與內(nèi)容兩個方面。在方法上，以近年來倍受重視的人力資本為視角，把美國經(jīng)濟頂尖人才的成才經(jīng)歷置于人力資本的理論基礎(chǔ)上進行系統(tǒng)的剖析，并通過實證考察來驗證人力資本形成途徑的重要程度，從而使理論與實際緊密結(jié)合。在內(nèi)容上，闡述了作者對美國經(jīng)濟英才人力資本形成途徑的兩點認識，既對人力資本理論予以補充，也對傳統(tǒng)觀點有所突破。
