Lynton, Ernest A.
Journal of Higher Education, v54 n6 p693-708 Nov-Dec 1983
Three recent books on the economic impact of higher education, two concerning the New England region, are examined. Discussion focuses on the role and importance of higher education in meeting human capital needs. It is suggested that future publications go further to explicitly address how higher education can continue to merit public support. (MSE)
