Becker Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c3731 Chapter pages in book: (p. 1 - 8) CHAPTER I introduction to the Second Edition' In the preface to the first edition, written about a decade ago, I re- marked that in the preceding few years "interest in the economics of education has mushroomed throughout the world." The mushroom- ing has continued unabated; a bibliography on the economics of education prepared in 1957 would have contained less than 50 entries, whereas one issued in 1964 listed almost 450 entries and its second edition in 1970 listed over 1300 entries.2 Moreover, this bibliography excludes the economic literature on health, migration, and other nonschooling investments in human capital, which has expanded even faster.' 1 I am indebted for helpful suggestions to Robert Michael, Victor Fuchs, and William Landes. 2SeeM. Blaug, Economics of Education, 2nd ed, London, 1970. 3 1 do not attempt io summarize or survey this growing body of literature on investments in human capital. A number of surveys and collections of essays have been published recently and the interested reader is referred to these.
