relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries iswidely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike.Progress in both areas is undoubtedlynecessary for the social,political and intellectual development of these and all other societies;however,the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities forpromoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.We are fortunate that it is,because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them toimprove economic performance would require two or three generations.The findings of a researchinstitution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job toachieve radical higher productivity and,as a result,radically higher standards of living.(2)Ironically,the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States.Not long ago,withthe country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak,the U.S.workforce was deridedas poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S.economic performance.Japan was,and remains,the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity.Yet the research revealed thatthe U.S.factories of Honda,Nissan,and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity oftheir Japanese counterparts-a result of the training that U.S.workers received on the job.(3)More recently,while examining housing construction,the researchers discovered thatilliterate,non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston,Texas,consistently metbest-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industrys work.(4)What is the real relationship between education and economic development?We have tosuspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even whengovernments dont force it.After all,thats how education got started.When our ancestors werehunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago,they didnt have time to wonder much about anythingbesides finding food.Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way wasthere time for other things.(5)As education improved,humanitys productivity potential increased as well.When thecompetitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential,they could in turn affordmore education.This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary,but not a研sufficient,condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economiperformance.Thus poor countries might not be abletoescape their poverty traps withoutchanges that may be possible only with broader formal education.A lack of fom微信公众djky2(ID也连天村however,doesnt constrain the ability of the developing worlds workforce to substantiallyimprove productivity for

has been the inexorable decline in the scope andseriousness of their arts coverage.(2)It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty toimagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.Yet aconsiderable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th centuryconsisted in large part of newspaper reviews.To read such books today is to marvel at the fact thattheir learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.(3)We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in Englandbetween the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II,at a time when newsprint wasdirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an orament to the publications in which itappeared.In those far-off days,it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would writein detail and at length about the events they covered.Theirs was a serious business,and even thosereviewers who wore their learning lightly,like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman,couldbe trusted to know what they were about.These men believed in journalism as a calling,and wereproud to be published in the daily press.So few authors have brains enough or literary giftenough to keep their own end up in journalism,Newman wrote,that I am tempted to definejournalismasa term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are.(4)Unfortunately,these critics are virtually forgotten.Neville Cardus,who wrote for theManchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975,is now known solely as awriter of essays on the game of cricket.During his lifetime,though,he was also one of Englandsforemost classical-music critics,and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography(1947)became a best-seller.He was knighted in 1967,the first music critic to be so honored.Yet only oneof his books is now in print,and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.(5)Is there any chance that Carduss criticism will enjoy a revival?The prospect seemsremote.Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death,and postmodern readers have littleuse for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized.Moreover,the amateurtradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.1.It is indicated in Paragraphs I and 2 thatAarts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.4微信公众号：顶尖考研(ID:djky66)
