At the crossroads of economic theory and educational policy stands a deceptively powerful question: what is education truly worth? This landmark anthology, the second in a celebrated series, brings together the most incisive and provocative writings on the economics of education, assembling a rigorous collection of essays that scrutinise the relationship between human capital, labour markets, schooling investment, and national development. Curated with precision and scholarly authority, it presents the key arguments that shaped education economics as a discipline in the mid-twentieth century, from rate-of-return analyses to debates on educational planning in developing nations. Mark Blaug, one of the foremost historians of economic thought and a towering figure in applied economics, marshals these readings with an editorial intelligence that transforms a collection of papers into a coherent intellectual dialogue. His selections illuminate the tensions between economic efficiency and social equity in educational provision, challenging readers to interrogate assumptions that policymakers and academics too often take for granted. Part of the indispensable Penguin Modern Economics Readings series, this volume remains a vital touchstone for anyone seeking to understand why the economics of education is not merely an academic exercise — but a question with profound consequences for how societies are built and who gets to shape them.
