23、化、交通世界一流、港口大型化、机场高效化了，而且所有这些都是以人类历史上从未有过的速度和规模完成的。现在中国又想跨入更高质产品和服务的时代。这意味着由政府官员确定的经济发展的下一步是要以建设高速网般的决心投资发展人力资本。自 1998 年来，中国政府已启动了大规模的教育发展计划，投入的资金按GDP 比例计算增加了两倍，在而后的十年，中国的大学增加了一倍，大学生增加了四倍，从1997 年的 100 万增长到 2007 年的550 万。中国列出了顶级的 9 所大学为其常青藤大学联盟。欧洲各大学以及美国的州立大学因受大规模经费削减影响而处于崩溃状态，而中国的大学大发展趋势则恰恰相反。耶鲁大学校长理查
