22、 necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies, however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because new

23、 educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and,

24、 as a result, radically higher standards of living. Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor

25、 U. S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U. S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts a result of the training that U. S.

26、workers received on the job. More recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industrys work. What

27、is the real relationship between education and economic development?

When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10, 000 years ag

28、o, they didnt have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things. As education improved, humanitys productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high lev

29、el of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be a-ble to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal edu-catio

30、a A lack of formal education, however, doesnt constrain the ability of the developing worlds workforce to substantially improve productivity to the forested future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isnt developing more quickly there than it is. 41 The auth

35、the history, of the new world are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “So much important attached to intellectual pursuits“. According to many books and articles, New En

36、glands leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life. To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-importan

37、t subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely u

38、nderstood ideals of civility and virtuosity. The early setters of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629, There were political leaders like John Winthrop, an

39、 educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness. We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders

40、were less well educated. While few crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, The in thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving

41、 Englandthat is filled with signs sexual confusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father me first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words; “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing, a

42、nd I will be your God and you shall be my people. “ One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churched. Mean while, many settles had slighter religious commitments than Danes, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mo

43、cked that they had not come to the New world for religion. “ Our main end was to catch fish. “ 46 The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England_. （ A） Puritan tradition dominated political life. （ B） intellectual interests were encouraged. （ C） Politics benefited much from intellectua
