Human Capital is Becker's classic study of how investment in an individual's education and training is similar to business investments in equipment. Recipient of the 1992 Nobel Prize in Economic Science, Gary S.

Becker's research on human capital was considered by the Nobel committee to be his most noteworthy contribution to economics.
