The principal book about Human Capital Theory.
Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Science, Becker has pioneered the aplication of economic analysis to human behavior in such areas as dicrimination, married, family, etc. This book is a classic study of the consequences of investing in a person's knowledge and skills. According to his theory, investing in an individual's education and training is similar to business investments in equipment. One of the principal book about Human Capital Theory.

It serves the purpose
I purchase Human Capital as part of a classroom project. The book is in good shape but it had a lot of written notes in it. It will meet the purpose I need since I will only take a few notes from it and then put it on the bookshelf.

Decided to pick it up after my teacher recommended it, however o feel it is more geared at uni students rather then a level as it does contain a few challenging concepts
