| 回望20世纪，美国在经济的众多领域始终实力超群，从而赢得“美国世纪”的声望。强大的经济实力体现了美国的人力资本优势，而其核心因素是作为人力资本载体的人。20世纪美国的超强地位正是取决于一大批顶尖人才的杰出贡献，这就是80／20效率法则，或称帕累托效率定律，因此，这些“关键的少数”（the Vital Few）社会英才值得特别关注。 《20世纪美国顶尖人才的人力资本形成》把20世纪奠定美国经济强盛地位的关键少数人才锁定为功勋卓著的科学家、企业家与政治家三个精英群体，因为科学家的研究成果提高生产效率、推动社会进步，企业家创造财富、提供就业、繁荣市场，政治家的高瞻远瞩和英明决策为经济发展保驾护航。 《20世纪美国顶尖人才的人力资本形成》的创新之处在于方法与内容两个方面。在方法上，以近年来倍受重视的人力资本为视角，把美国经济顶尖人才的成才经历置于人力资本的理论基础上进行系统的剖析，并通过实证考察来验证人力资本形成途径的重要程度，从而使理论与实际紧密结合。在内容上，阐述了作者对美国经济英才人力资本形成途径的两点认识，既对人力资本理论予以补充，也对传统观点有所突破。 |
