LiegentCognitive Capitalism: Human Capital and the Wellbeing of Nations
In his exploratory work, Heiner Rindermann tackles the sensitive issue of cognitive differences between nations. Drawing intriguing correlations, he parses the complex factors shaping human capital. Rindermann confronts the problems of progress and backwardness head-on, attributing economic and political inequalities to variances in intelligence. Though provocative, his examination illuminates potential solutions. Analyzing evolutionary, genetic, cultural, and modern influences, Cognitive Capitalism makes a compelling case: cognitive abilities largely determine the fate of nations. Both stimulating and sobering, this is a short for anyone seeking to understand national prosperity.
Heiner Rindermann is a German psychologist recognized for his research on human intelligence and ability, particularly group differences in cognitive ability. He has authored over 100 publications in major psychology and intelligence journals, including papers examining cognitive ability development, cross-cultural differences in intelligence, and the role of education in ability. Rindermann serves as a professor of educational psychology at Chemnitz University of Technology, where he applies psychometric techniques to study questions of ability and achievement.
