The Trouble With Human Capital Theory

Creators

Feature image

In my last post, I skewered human capital theory by comparing it to the pseudoscience of eugenics. Here's a follow up — a presentation called The Trouble With Human Capital Theory. It's a talk I gave to the SEEFAR research center at the Kedge Business School. I thank Christophe Faugère for inviting me to speak.
