Description: Join us for a presentation by Dr. John F. Tomer on his new book, Integrating Human Capital with Human Development: The Path to a More Productive and Humane Economy. Mainstream economics' concept of human capital only emphasizes human cognitive development enabling growth in worker productivity and earnings. In light of recent research concerning neurodevelopment and early childhood development, it is apparent that the standard human capital has a far too limited conception of human capacities. Therefore, this book integrates concepts of human capital and human development, an integration considering not only cognitive development but social, psychological, emotional, biological, and other noncognitive dimensions of development over the entire life cycle. A lively discussion will follow as we collaboratively explore the implications of this work across fields of thought.
