Has Mexican Education Generated Human or Political Capital?
McGinn, Noel; Street, Susan
Comparative Education, v20 n3 p323-38 1984
Evaluates public education's contributions to Mexico's economic development from 1952-1982. Finds education's principal contribution has not been to improve human capital or government competence; education has instead been a vital source of political capital that has helped to maintain the political system as an "inclusionary corporatist" state. Highlights unresolved issues. (BRR)
