Excerpt from the Book
1.2 Background to the Study
According to (Claudia Goldin, 2/23/2014) the twentieth century clearly became the human capital century. It began first in North America but later spread to the rest of the world. How and why did that occur? Mass education in the United States was achieved early because of several characteristics, emphasized in my previous writings (Goldin, 2001, 2008). These characteristics were “virtuous” at the time and for some time after. Many remained in place, even as some lost their virtuous characteristics. Education in the United States has generally been open and forgiving in nature. Openness means that schools, by and large, allowed all children to enter. The openness of U.S. schools is related to that fact that ever since the mid-nineteenth century elementary and secondary schools were (fully) publicly funded by local and state governments. Forgiving means that students who did poorly in one grade were generally allowed to advance to the next. The forgiving nature is related to the fact that until recently there were few standardized tests that were required by law. As Theodore Schultz noted in his American Economic Association presidential address in 1961 many thought that free people were not to be equated with property and marketable assets (Schultz, 1961).
