Hanushek on Educational Quality and Economic Growth

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Eric Hanushek talks about his research on the impact of educational quality on economic growth.

Hanushek presents dramatic findings about the decisive nature of cognitive ability and knowledge in driving economic growth. Join us as Hanushek talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about his findings and the implications for public policy around the world and in the United States.
