The number of books published in a country reflects its economic, social and cultural development. Yet, all too often, the production of books is looked upon solely in economic terms, i.e. as a part of national income, or as a proxy for human capital which, in turn, might explain economic growth. In this paper, we aim to give books their day in court. Using a dataset with book titles per 1,000 inhabitants for a large number of countries since 1950, we find that the number of titles was mainly driven by the level of education and income in the lower quantiles. The reduction of printing after 1990 was, surprisingly, not caused by a rise in other media, such as the internet, but, mostly, by a reduction in the effect of education in the poorer countries.

Human capital is an economic category which is increasingly applied in the models of economic growth and development. Many studies have demonstrated its positive effect on economic development at the national and regional levels. The level of development of rural areas is also strongly correlated with the human factor. The objective of the study was to carry out a quantitative and qualitative diagnosis of the situation of human capital across rural areas in Poland and to indicate the main challenges associated with the shaping of this capital in the context of economic growth simulation. The method used to meet the objective was a review of source literature and an analysis of statistical data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) with the application of dynamics and structure indices. In the course of research, it was established that the main trends affecting the situation of human resource capital across rural areas in Poland are: the ageing of the rural population, as a dominant negative trend, and a systematic, though slow, increase in the level of education, as a dominant positive trend. It was determined that unfavorable demographic transformations of rural communities involve the risk of limiting economic activities of the elderly, and at the same time, also a decrease in their economic independence and an increase in the social burden resulting therefrom. On the other hand, the observed rise in the level of education and economic activity may accelerate the beneficial transformations of the area structure of agricultural farms, for it contributes to the acceleration of migration of the rural population to other, non-agricultural professions. In this context, taking actions, both nationally and regionally, aiming at increasing qualifications of rural (including agricultural) populations constitutes a vital opportunity, which increases intellectual potential and competitiveness across the country and its individual regions.

Educated new generations acquire informational and labor-oriented competencies that positively affect to firms enhancing productivity and efficiency. The development of the Internet has been converted into one of the main engines of economic growth by having created a new Postindustrial Technological Cyber-society that is focused on a worldwide-oriented business market. Only the best and well prepared businesses survive in a hostile economic world by attracting the best human capital, investors, and clients. As a result, and given the importance of higher education for firms, there is a necessity of enriching the EFQM Model that the authors propose in the chapter.

Level Of Education

In the early 1960s, Latin America was on the brink of significant economic growth, withschool attainment and income levels well ahead of East Asia. However, by 2000, despitegreater financial and political efforts to develop their education system to the standard offully developed countries, Latin America had already been well surpassed by East Asia. Byconsidering the influence of education and human capital accumulation, this paperendeavours to rationalise the disparities between the economic failures of Latin America bycomparison to the economic prosperity of East Asia. Internationally standardised cognitivetesting consistently shows Latin America below East Asia, indicating a greater quality ofeducation in East Asia. Moreover, Latin America appears to experience some degree ofdifficulty in retaining its human capital due to ‘brain drain’. As such, whilst the LatinAmerican labour force continues to grow, the average level of education is deteriorating,which in turn adversely affects economic prosperity.

Crowd Out

Does resource abundance positively affect human capital accumulation? Or, alternatively, does it «crowd out» the human capital leading to the deterioration of economic growth? The paper gives an overview of the relevant literature and discusses both theoretical and empirical results obtained regarding the connection between human capital accumulation and resource abundance. It shows that despite some theoretical predictions about the harmful effect of resource abundance on human capital accumulation, unambiguous evidence of such impact that would be robust with respect to the change of resource abundance parameter has not been obtained yet.
