Creating a Learning Society

Sobre el libro Creating a Learning Society de Joseph E. Stiglitz publicado por Columbia al 2014:

It has long been recognized that an improved standard of living results from advances in technology, not from the accumulation of capital. It has also become clear that what truly separates developed from less-developed countries is not just a gap in resources or output but a gap in knowledge. In fact, the pace at which developing countries grow is largely a function of the pace at which they close that gap. Thus,to understand how countries grow and develop, it is essential to know how they learn and become more productive and what government can do to promote learning.
