Executive summary: Investment in Human Capital Theodore W. Schultz won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1979, sharing the honor with Sir Arthur Lewis. Schultz's work concerned developing economies, the economics of agriculture, and the value added to an economy when its people are well-educated with easy, efficient access to health care. In Schultz's international studies, he generally eschewed 'visiting professor' status at universities and meetings with bureaucrats, and instead talked with local farmers and rural community groups. In 1965, he was a founding member of the National Academy of Education.
