These gaps areoften obvious, and by studying the flow of immigration onecan easily predict people^'s wants and needs. But why arethere also large differences in the level of educationindicating disparities in cognitive ability? How are theyrelated to a country^'s economic, political and culturaldevelopment? Researchers in the paradigms of economics,psychology, sociology, evolution and cultural studies havetried to find answers for these hotly debated issues. Inthis book, Heiner Rindermann establishes a new model: theemergence of a burgher-civic world, supported by long-termbackground factors, furthered education and thinking. Theburgher-civic world initiated a reciprocal developmentchanging society and culture, resulting in past andpresent cognitive capital and wealth differences. This isan important text for graduate students and researchers ina wide range of fields, including economics, psychology,sociology and political science, and those working oneconomic growth, human capital formation and cognitivedevelopment.
