Release of World Bank report, The Changing Wealth of Nations. This incorporates my approach for measuring investment in human capital into a complete set of accounts for wealth for 141 nations. This approach has also been used by the OECD in Paris, France. Investment in human capital is very important since this includes more than sixty percent of the increases in the wealth of a nation.
