Bowles & Gintis write: "In light of the outpouring of quantitative
research on schooling and inequality in the intervening years, the
statistical claims of the [1976] book have held up remarkably well.
In particular, recent research by us and others using far better data
than were available in the early 70s has entirely vindicated our
once-controversial estimates of high levels of intergenerational
persistence of economic status, the unimportance of the heritability
of IQ in this process, and the fact that the contribution of
schooling to cognitive development plays little part in explaining
why those with more schooling have higher earnings. . . . .In
'Schooling in Capitalist America' we did not explore the
individual-level learning processes that account for the
effectiveness of the Correspondence Principle. Recent contributions
to the study of cultural evolution (Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman, 1981;
Boyd and Richerson, 1985; Bowles and Gintis, 1986) allow us to be
considerably more specific about how behaviors are learned in school."

Duderstadt writes: "Few faculty members have any awareness of the
expanding knowledge about learning from psychology and cognitive
science. Almost no one in the academy has mastered or used this
knowledge base. One of my colleagues observed that if doctors used
science the way college teachers do, they would still be trying to
heal with leeches."

Duderstadt writes: (my CAPS): "We have argued that the development of
human capital is becoming a dominant national priority in the age of
knowledge, comparable in importance to military security and health
care. Yet OUR FEDERAL INVESTMENT IN THE KNOWLEDGE BASE NECESSARY TO
ADDRESS THIS NEED IN MINISCULE. In FY01, the nation will invest over
$247 billion in R&D. Of the federal government's share of $90
billion, $20.4 billion will be invested in NIH, $8 billion in space,
$4.4 billion in NSF, and $2 billion in high energy physics. How much
will the federal government invest in research directed toward
learning, education, and schools? Less than $300 million-about 0.2%
of our
investment in the biosciences or 1% of that in high energy physics.
Of this amount, ONLY ABOUT $50 MILLION IS CURRENTLY INVESTED IN THE
UNDERLYING BASIC SCIENCE OF LEARNING (e.g., neuroscience, cognitive
science, organizational science related to learning).
