He argues that the quality of education (as measured by international test scores) is a powerful predictor of economic growth rates across countries. Coming up over the next few weeks on EconTalk: Barry Weingast on violence and power, Deborah M. Gordon on the economics of ant colonies, Paul Romer on growth and George Shultz on economics and diplomacy.
